So I was working on this really cool resource pack a while ago, but bad progress nonwithstanding, I think I found something much better... I'm probably gonna never release another custom Minecraft map.Until we meet again...
Business is business, simple as that. When it's profitable, you reap the benefits. When it looks like it's about to stop being profitable, you either have a way of bringing in more money or sell it off to some hopeful soul.
Any person that makes business decisions based on a rumour, or some stupid kid-on-the-Internet's rumour, is an idiot that deserves to be run out of business. And these guys (Mojang) don't appear to have that problem at all.
Glad to see that Mojang has a plan if things go south. I hope to see great games come from them for a long time. Mojang will go down into Indie history.
Side note: at what point does an indie company get so powerful it stops being Indie? Is that even possible?
Sega...Well. We can't predict the future (even you silver) Just joking btw. So who knows? Anything could happen.

Just noticing a lot of people in here saying "Minecraft lives!" and similar, just so ya know, Notch once said if Minecraft stopped selling, {EG, Mojang stopped making a profit from the game} he would release the source code and call it a day. Even if {God, Lord Herobrine, and anyone else listening forbid} Mojang should ever go down, Minecraft would live on as long as the Internet itself. Also, where did this "rumor" come from? because I never heard of it, and it seems a lot of others here didn't either.
Well that's good to know... Even though I never heard of this rumor.
Though its almost hard to imagine what more they could add to minecraft, since so much has happened in just two years... Aha, i'm saying this now and in the future I will most likely remember myself saying this and think how stupid I was.

No money this year? That's hilarious! Mojang makes millions of dollars per year, not just from Minecraft. Notch is working on 0x10c so, maybe that will make more money and Scrolls in raking in some too. 10 years? More like 15-30 lol xD
If you look at the sheer amount of money Mojang has made JUST of of Minecraft they could last another 100 years, the math is easy, ~$25 X 35,000,000 copies on all systems as of February = $875,000,000! I'm sure they'll last longer than 10 years. I know a lot of this goes to Notch, but that's still over 100 million dollars.
I think its pretty unlikely since Minecraft itself has millions on downloads, not even counting the Pocket Edition, Xbox, and Playstation versions. Mojang has other games as well, such as cobalt which is not as popular as Minecraft but is still doing pretty good. Then, when you look at how much Minecraft merchandise is being distributed around the world, I think there is no doubt that Mojang is in pretty good shape and will last for a LONG time (unless some short term causes make them go bankrupt or something). So overall, I think Mojang is totally fine right now and all of the success they made off of minecraft will last for decades.
Wise move for Mojang to have a contingency plan, for Indie developers, it must be tough to make a start. And i am just glad they won't stop updating till 2024
Minecraft will always be here. But, sadly, Mojang has a lot of tough competition. Roblox, Blockland, And Terraria,( Which, along with Minecraft are the top PC games in the world) Make millions a year as well. Of course, Roblox is the best money making, with Terraria and then Blockland following.
If Mojang stops making money with Minecraft in the distant future, I hope their 10-year plan includes removing all DRM attached to the game so it doesn't have to call in just to play the game (offline). Otherwise it'll be bricked forever. Another idea would be for someone else to take over the player skin database...
I have an idea for Minecraft. I am not the only one who has thought of the either.
Add a Heaven/Sky Realm!?! One that uses a craftable portal. (Using one of either Redstone, Glowstone, Quartz, Snow or other block?) Something that can be crafted using the same method as Nether Portals. (But with a blue or yellow portal?)
Another idea I have. There is a hidden block in Minecraft. It can be used as Polished Stone. (Current ID for Texture: double_stone_slab, Meta Data: 8, Texture used: Top of Stone Slab.) It can be crafted using 2 stone slabs? (It drops itself when broke.)
And Please, Please add Stone, Cobblestone and Polished Stone Lanterns to Minecraft? (Crafting recipe is like Jack-O-Lanterns. But with stone stuff.)

It's just business.

Just add a feature that can load any mods on a server.
