No, I'm not the only one who thinks it's a waste, there are plenty others who agree with me.

 

And it will take 12 years if it sells at it's current pace+PS4/XBO boost, for the next 12 years, but it won't last that long. Even Minecraft doesn't have the legs to sell another 120 million copies.

sure. many people dont have a clue about gaming on the perspective of developer, publisher and platformholder

only about the gamer perspective

 

sure it can.

on mobile ;)

rigt now its only at ~30m, while 1.8 billion (and still growing) smartphones are out there

 

and what about spin offs and a possible successor?

 

 

there is now way they could spend 2.5 billion better in a gaming related way, because twitch is already sold :D

and twitch would not even fit in the ms portfolio
