Because clearly your OS is going to determine whether or not Java is installed to be able to run a third party application.

lol
I thought he retired?
Ahaha wow, he sounds like a petulant child
[QUOTE=usaokay;37820275]He's missing out on potential sales tbh[/QUOTE]
For there to be potential sales, people would have to buy Windows 8 first.
Good on him. Windows 8 seems like Microsoft's attempt to shove an appstore down people's throat built into the OS. Remember GFWL guys? how well that turned out?

Because you know your economics.
"On the bright side, you can get achievements in Minesweeper, and that's something, right?"
10/10 would pay twice.
Notch is a fucking idiot.
I like how the author doesn't understands how things work.

No he's not.
What a fucking child.
Wow a very split reaction from FP. Im not upgrading to Win 8 because its FAR to soon from Win 7 So I could give 2 shits.
Good, fuck W8.
[QUOTE=clanratc;37820450]What a fucking child.[/QUOTE]
Err what? He has his own distribution on pc, why would he give a cut to microsoft when he can keep doing what he's doing and get the total sale.
[QUOTE=mobrockers2;37820438]No he's not.[/QUOTE]
Of course he is, a manchild. Good thing Minecraft runs as good on W8 as on W7.
I'll be waiting for Windows 9...
[QUOTE=Wormy;37820495]I like how you guys call Notch a child when even Gabe Newell said "Windows 8 is a catastrophe", and you don't go around hating on Gabe.[/QUOTE]
They haven't stated they won't support W8 though?

Gabe said that on his own time. He didn't send an email to some clueless marketing rep like an internet tough guy
Notch is an idiot, but he's right this time :v:
Notch is a bit of an idiot but not because of this

though this certainly isn't making him look any smarter I'll tell you that
By the sounds of it, it seems like Microsoft's offer to help was unsolicited. Notch wasn't pursuing it and didn't want it to happen right now. His blunt response is understandable.

"No, thank you" would have been understandable.
"Stop ruining PC gaming!" is, like I've said, childish

Even if you literally just upgraded this is a moot point.
Windows 8 isn't that bad, from my personal experience, Singleplayer minecraft works, but multiplayer seems to lock up, before I get in...

[quote]These certifications are nothing but good. As long as Windows 8 doesn't block non-certified programs you still have a open platform.
Certification means your program follows a specific set of rules in regards how it behaves, such as; 1.1 Your app must not take a dependency on Windows compatibility modes, AppHelp message, and or any other compatibility fixes
4.1 Your app must handle critical shutdowns appropriately
5.1 Your app must properly implement a clean, reversible installation
Windows 8 Software Certification gives you programs that behave in a specific and predictable way according to a unified set of rules.[/quote]
Has nothing to do with the app store.
[QUOTE=3noneTwo;37820558]His blunt response is understandable.[/QUOTE]
Not really. Stuff like,"I told them to stop trying to ruin the pc as an open platform." He followed up saying he'd "rather have minecraft not run on win 8 at all than to play along," and hoping that it will keep some users from switching to Windows 8.
Is pure idiotic. Why would he want Minecraft not to run on W8 because he doesn't like it? Why would he want W8 to fail massively because he doesn't like it? Only selfish fucks would say something like this, how can you let your personal opinion get in the way of stuff like this anyway. Why wouldn't he want as much people as possible to be able to play his game. But instead, he cries like a fool about how bad W8 is and no one should play on it/use it.
Notch and Windows 8 are both terrible.
[QUOTE=SweFox*;37820484]Of course he is, a manchild. Good thing Minecraft runs as good on W8 as on W7.[/QUOTE]
But, you see, notch isn't saying he won't support win8, he's saying he won't bring minecraft to the win8 store. Big difference.

He's not saying that, that's what the author of the article said, which is incorrect as it isn't what he means. He doesn't want minecraft in the win8 store, that's what this means.
