| tiffac said: MS didn't stop Skype from being available on other platforms when they purchased it, so I doubt MS will do this kind of move with Minecraft. That would just be counter productive after spending $2 Billion to acquire it and I'm pretty sure MS wants to ride the Minecraft money more than anything Mojang can provide them in the future. |
It depends on who is making the purchase, MS, the computer company/OS maker, or their Xbox division. Presumably the Xbox division needs high up authority from the board to make a purchase like this and with so many on the board disliking the Xbox division, it's unlikely to come from them. It may be a MS in general purchase and they want it for brand and potential, meaning it is unlikely that they will remove potential profits just to get a leg over competition in a market many of the board don't even want to be in.
Hmm, pie.
