First, this is weird. Why would MS spend $2billion on one company when they could start up 20 (each with $100million budget) to make a game of their own for that money. It sounds unreal.

Also, in the above post, "not least because Persson has been openly critical of the company in the past" - doesn't mean he won't accept a huge cheque for his company. If I owned Minecraft and MS came to me with $2billion, I wouldn't bat an eye over it. I could quit and start 20 game companies each with 100 million budget for that.



Hmm, pie.
