Microsoft NEEDS this money so Minecraft can stay open. Not quite. Microsoft is almost garaunteed 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. It costs money to maintain servers. If the owner of the servers arent making the amount of money they want, they will close the game.
