Will Microsoft be hiring you because of Minecraft?

As you all probably know by now, Microsoft bought Mojang AB for 2 billion $. We are all curious about their reasons for doing so. Here is another possibility: Is it possible that Microsoft recognized the fact that the Minecraft community has so many talented programmers within its ranks? If Microsoft were to look through the community they could find many a minecrafter who would make a great software dev. Do you think Microsoft will start hiring minecrafters to be part of their devs? Open discussion. Post your thoughts.

No way dude. The people who program on minecraft are programming on Java. Not what they want. I doubt it. Microsoft is looking for people to make the gen OS/Software/Game/Console Design. Not some easy to program plugins and mods.

No way are the going to do that. Yeah sure some of the modders are good but that is no reason for them to spend 2.5 million on a game when they could just go "Hey wanna join Microsoft" to any modder who would most likely be like "Hell yeah"
It's not like Mojang own mod creators. If microsoft wanted to it could just hire them.
Also, I understand the conversation would go a bit more professional but my way is more fun

All right. Thats what I wanted, your opinion on this idea. Thanks for the thoughts.

I'd say it's possible but unlikely.

ya you are't forced into it I was just thinking they might like having new programmers with new ideas joining their company.

Even if they ask if you want to work for them, you can always so no. However, if they did, I wouldn't turn down the offer, it's a full time job programming.

Maybe but if Microsoft wants new devs they can look to the Minecraft community.

Like Hydraheads said, that might be the closest you can get, unless you apply for a full Microsoft Game Developer.

Probably not, but as minecraft did with mo' creatures horses, they might pay modders to officially implement some features.

I didn't really mean minecraft devs, I ment programmers for other applications. Just seeing as how minecrafting programmers are very creative and thoughtful and know how to make things fun and appealing.

Define, 'Developer'.

By Developers I mean people who write software and programs for Microsoft. Devolving software using their minecraft coding experience.

No way
