Microsoft Minecraft deal official 2.5B

Buy a company famous for one game and the game creator leaves brehs.

This is exactly like rare. They bought rare, the talent left and that was it.

This ranks up there with microsoft buying nokia and pretty much everything microsoft does these days. Late to the game, trying to buy their way into everything.

Until it proves otherwise minecraft is a fad.


Whats next, going to buy the studios behind clash of clans and candy crush?

I think this is the only company that Microsoft has bought that will pan out for them in the end. I think they are going to bundle this with Windows 9 and probably some new tablets to make them more attractive for buyers. Basically they are going to milk the living shyt out of the franchise. It is bothersome that the creators are not going to stay but I guess Microsoft has a plan to get the money back without the creators. They will probably turn the series into a FPS or make a Halo version. Whatever corporate bullshyt they have planned it's going to stink to high heaven. 2 Billion promises we going to see some fukkery.

I just dont see it. 2.5 billion when the games already made most of its money.

Its not the type of game where a sequel is going to really add much.

People arent going to buy windows phones and surfaces because it has minecraft.

Buy a new phone or tablet because it's pre packaged with an app you can download
