obviously. The most growth is in those 2 versions, compared to the java version. Not to mention the Java version already has Schematicstore and stuff like that. they want to make a Microsoft-sanctioned version for it.
They probably realized that if they give Content Creators 70% of the money, they'd get 30% of the money for that for almost no action on their part, while the community is still making money.
to me it very much depends on how they intend to treat it, but I think I'll definitely go for it.

Edit: dammit lag XD

I'm actually really shocked right now...and I'm not joking! (in a positive way) They are using render of my build in one of those phones! :eek: (in phone with that shiny thing)

Although neither me or artist who made this render for me were notified... so I'm not sure what to think about this...

Sounds aids, spend real money on coins that you can only spend on the market place, only make "profit" in the form of coins, they take 30%, it's probably going to have really bad, strict rules, ect. Can think of a lot more such as I wouldn't advertise my server on it do to their stupid non-pay2win rules.

Pretty sure that since they say they want creators to be able to make a living out of it, having a 'creator' account allows you to redeem 'coins' as cash. You just need to have a registered business for it.
Im gonna ask their ears off when that AMA starts, and if I like it I'll make stuff for it.
but now that you mention their non-pay2win rules, the strictness of their rules for java feels a LOT less virtuous now that they're introducing microtransactions into the mobile versions. Even when not pay2win, microtransactions feel like as much of a bad sign as pay2win elements.
At least this explains why the W10 edition is effectively free2play now (I got it when I installed a non-activated version of W10). This is what they're planning to use to get their 2 billion back for free.
Imagine every build on PMC being $3 or so on average. They'd get around $1 per download of each of those builds. Lets say only 1% of the downloads on PMC are actually gonna be purchases, that's still 3 million+ over 4-5 years. Then there's apparently also gonna be skinpacks, texturepacks and other stuff. Almost all community-made, so they don't have to do shit other than keep the system going and occasionally moderate it. So that's a few million per year extra for almost 0 effort, and then there's the fact that these versions are growing more rapidly than Java is, and are probably gonna end up receiving way more attention than the Java version.

Pretty clever, even though I technically dislike it.

Mick is going to lock this thread as he'll consider it as a competitor advertisement.
