You must think Microsoft is filled with idiots.

Yes, I'm sure Microsoft has made some poor decisions in the past. But would they really risk the hatred of the entire Minecraft community to turn Minecraft into a moneybasket? There's obviously a reason why Microsoft bought Minecraft in the first place and that is because they know Minecraft is a very, very popular game. Microsoft spent over two billion dollars to buy Minecraft. That's a lot of money. Would Microsoft really go through all the trouble to buy ownership of a game loved and owned by 27+ million people just to ruin it and bleed it dry of its original glory?

I think not.
