This is a colossal waste of money they could have bought almost any other studio but they buy this one with only one big game . Personally I think that sequels to minecraft will sell badly and leave them with a studio with no relevant ips.

no they couldn't (not for sale or shareholder want much more as the shares are worth)  and even those they could buy would be probably super unprofitable if you would release their games not as multiplat games in the future so that you would have to change a lot of the structure of the company  (also maybe fire many employees) which means a lot of costs after a purchase. 

there are soo many factors  (also with taxes and so on) and some of you guys think you know it better after 3 mnutes of reading about it. It's just laughable to be honest. 

Yes it is laughable to be honest because you know nothing. Microsoft is not broke last time I checked and have boatload of cash they can buy and pay more then 2.5 billion for a studio.And not being profitable part is stupid,for example if they bought Capcom and there games were xbox only and not multi. platform means more would buy there system for those games! The bigger the install base the more overall game sales increase and then profits go up, exclusives are what sell a console and buying a company with more ips like monster hunter, resident evil, street fighter, mega man, and so on would be better then a company with one ip.Building a bigger library of franchises would help ms more and if there already known thats even better or have you forgotten people freaking out over Tomb Raider!
