It doesn't sound like those kinds of details have been released yet, although some of the big names have already left/announced that they're leaving.

I've said all along, Microsoft is not limping in to this mobile phone fight. They've come out guns a blazing. They are on a mission and have the money to fund it.

It means they're goin to make sure this particular developer does not exclude them in future games.

And hopefully take away Minecraft from all you iPhone and Android snobs.
