I literally just bought Minecraft PS4 just incase they pulled it when the deal is announced

Im really curious to see where they take the IP in the future.

If they wanted to pull Minecraft on PS4/3 tuesday, I'm sure they could. Depends on the deal MS make with Mojang but effectively, what can Sony do?

We've certainly had games taken down before due to buyouts (Midway, THQ ect).

Playstation will not be a huge driver of Minecraft sales imo, so they should pull it and advertise it as XB1/360/PC/Mobile exclusive.


PS3 version has been legging quite well, and with the PS4 being the market leader by quite a distance, Minecraft will naturally have great legs on the platform.

Minecraft sells to the mass market. PS4 is the current mass market console of choice. Game would do great for MS profit-wise, if kept on PS platforms.

The main question is though, will they make it MS exclusive going forward? Part of the appeal with Minecraft, one of the reasons it is the best selling game ever, is because its available on every viable platform. To stop that would be a huge hit to the franchise IMO.
