I'm not too terrible excited about Microsoft buying minecraft. I've been playing almost daily for four solid years. I don't really see them making DLC content for it though. They'd get a lot more money back by hosting stable servers. Also think of the merchandise. They had lots of connections and the staff behind them to make lots of deals. Official minecraft shirts, toys, and even cake kits. Think of how much money they'd simply make off of that without changing the game that much. Heck even Halloween costumes. Go trick-or-treating as a creeper. All they would have to do is keep the game stable and make nice updates.
To be fair Mojang wasn't doing a very good job updating the game. What they did in one year, a modder could do in a month. Lately they seemed to mostly just borrow popular things from mods. Personally I hated how they would update the game with a feature then never return to truly finish or flesh it out. I ended up playing a heavy modded game about two years ago and never looked back.
However, if Microsoft does start jacking with minecraft too much, I plan to stay with the last stable version with the game and play with mods.
