Rumor: Microsoft Set to buy Minecraft developer Mojang for 2B

[Rigby.]

Its a shyt ton of current money but this is bound to fold in like 2 years

Could they make that profit back in that span of time? probably

wow the fall of microsoft for real..

 

[TripleAgent]

I don't like it. Who says they make anything good ever again, unless Minecraft 2 is the ultimate piff, obsoletes the first, and they make it exclusive to MS platforms. Will this really sell Xboxes/Windows Phones? 2 Billi's worth?

 

[Lord Scion]

I don't even play Minecraft so I can't even activate Sony Stan mode for this.

I know Microsoft has a massive war chest , but is this even wise. It's like the equivalent of Google or Apple purchasing Rovio or King due to the popularity of Angry Birds or Candy Crush. It may seem like a good idea in the short term, but people are eventually going to move on the next thing. Plus... It's not like MS has a good track record with purchasing game studios *cough* RARE *cough*

This. They have bigger issues than trying to lock down Minecraft.

Notch sold out ?

That's why I doubt it'll go through. Notch was very vocal about Oculus selling out the way they did, so it would look really bad if he took the big money as well. But then again, who cares about looking bad when you got $2 billion on your account.

Minecraft 2, only on Xbox One

Now you can play with even more racist cac pre teens

better than playing with black people listening to 2 chains real loud

Lol them investors are really going to want to the Xbox division if this shyt fails

 

[Rekkapryde]

Has nothing to do with exclusivity it's for the control of the ip. You can make movies games clothes etc. Microsoft is much bigger then just xbox.

No doubt, but this Minecraft shyt got fad written all over it. 2 Billi is way too much IMO.

But hey, Mojang won.

all this is what it means to "sell out"

especially when Notch and Mojang already have plenty of paper, so they can't be on some "I'm just tryin to feed my kids" shyt
