| The Fury said: 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. |
That's like saying Disney could finance 100 movies instead of buying the Star Wars IP.
The fact is you could start 20 different studios and none of them would likely make anything as popular as Minecraft.
