So is the Microsoft strategy to just keep adding new versions of the original game? I don't know how you could expand on it, but I feel like after the Microsoft buyout they should have started making version 2 rather than continuing to make various versions for different devices.
A Minecraft 2 would not go down well with the community. Part of the package that Mojang was selling with Minecraft was a continuously evolving and expanding world that you never needed to pay extra for. A version 2 implies that development would cease on the first version, which essentially boils down to Minecraft being sold using a "subscription" to the game, one that you have to renew every time they decide they have enough new features to re-release the game as a new version.
I really hope Microsoft does not go down this route.
