Microsoft NEEDS this money so Minecraft can stay open. Not quite. Microsoft is almost gauranteed to stop development on the game and relocate Mojang's developers to other projects. This dosn't mean that we won't be able to play the game; just that there will be no more official updates, and the game will no longer be supported. Also, Mojang was bought, not Minecraft. Notch sold Mojang.
