One can always hope. $77 billion surely didn't help Zune, $2.5 billion for Minecraft will hardly raise Windows Phone from the deep pits of last place, and that's why I hope they don't continue taking games away from people by paying companies in an effort to gain ground.
I actually really hope this Minecraft deal succeeds, that they keep focusing on mobile and tablets and servers and OS, so that they move their paws away from my hobby. It's a completely selfish hope, but their money already denied me the pleasure of playing Tomb Raider at launch, I don't want them to mess with more of my favorite franchises.
I hope they buy all the Minecrafts, Fruit Ninjas and Flappy Birds in the world, if that would mean that they'll stop ruining my console gaming enjoyment.
