I still think Minecraft was purchased to make Microsoft gaming software look better on paper for investors, but that's just a theory. It is a super hot game, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised at it losing its independence. Notch turned a cash cow into a goldmine and it's still seems to be working out for MS so far.
I know a lot of people would have rather seen that money go into Xbox first party software, but this purchase seems to be in line with the direction MS wants to go in the future with service based games.
