A few things

What does this mean for all the Playstation versions of Minecraft, will it still be supported with updates?

Couldn't $2.5 billion be better spent on oh I dunno actually making some good new IPs? Think of how many games could of been made with $2.5 billion

Is Mojang secretely making another game?

If this is all for Minecraft it seems like a waste of money, how are they going to profit from this, everything will likely have a cost now.

Microsoft can still spend $2.5 billion on new games. Some time ago they already said they're spending a billion on X1 exclusives. Also, there isn't always a guarantee a new IP will be good even from an established studio. Have you heard about Destiny?

I would assume Mojang had plans for future projects, maybe even a sequel or big updates to Minecraft.

This purchase is so huge that there must be plans we aren't aware of.

I've heard about destiny. What about it?
