Microsoft Minecraft deal official 2.5B

Its big i know but it reeks of being a fad. Next gen Minecraft isn't going to be that different than last gen. Doesn't advance gaming and is a huge risk.

Must be nice to just sit back on stacks of cash and play games for the rest of your life.

I salute that man's hustle.

What a waste of money IMO. I haven't played minecraft and probably won't

great in depth financial analysis. why aren't you running a billion dollar company yet?

Legos have been getting played forever breh. My 7 and 6 year olds are fanatical about it. It's been around too long to really call it a fad any longer.

They were to lazy to make their own Minecraft clone like Sony too and/or Littlebigplanet. It's easier for them to acquire something that's already printing money.

notch created a successful game, got paid and can now relax for as long as he wants i'm surprised he sold it to microsoft since he was shytting on windows 8.

this is a good purchase for microsoft. minecraft is basically digital lego so i don't ever see it going away, i don't think it has hit its peak yet too. i'm sure microsoft will incorporate this into schools and probably businesses/land development somehow.

Meh.

 

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

2.5 billy?

 

[Ciggavelli]

So Notch cashed out and left, and Microsoft is gonna be making products for their competitors now. Hmmm...

There's no need for an next gen version of Minecraft either. This game isn't about graphics or cpu power.

Predicts that minecraft 2 will be shyt though...

Talk about living the dream, dude created something with (allegedly) no intention of getting rich, gets rich, and can go continue to do what he loves. All the while being filthy rich and not having to deal with corporate BS.
