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 |
You really think Minecraft will sell another 120 million copies? okay...
How would a sequel work? It won't come anywhere close to the sales of the original.
And yes there is. They could buy 2K for 1,87 BN dollars. The fact that they paid more for Mojang than what all of 2K interactive is worth should tell you something. Infact, if they bought 2K, they would have enough money to buy 50% of Capcom shares with the leftovers. So they could get 2K and Capcom combined, for the same amount as they spent on Mojang. Imagine all those studios and IPs they would've gotten out of that. But no, they chose to spend all that on just Mojang.
