When Minecraft and the studio is 2 billion, how much would be the entire Xbox division with Halo, Forza, Fable, Gears of War, Xbox Live, 20+ studios and the entire brand?
Who could afford it? Samsung and Apple would make the most sense. Maybe Amazon, but they just reported a higher than expected loss, so I doubt they could / would do this.
Maybe some kind of investment companies, but that wouldn't make much sense for them to buy a whole company and run their operations - something they have no clue about.
I don't see the buyers and I don't see MS to do this tbh.
Same with Nintendo and Playstation btw. The number of potential candidates to join this console gaming industry is VERY limited and the number of potential candidates to acquire the divisions of existing players is even smaller.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
