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?

A billion, so they could of spent 3.5 billion on games? jesus.
It's a thing called experimentation, how else do you think we got games like minecraft, halo, final fantasy. New IPs is always great for the gaming industry, instead of repeating the same old thing until there's not a thing left of it. Destiny was an experiment, now they can try new things, or improve on it.

Project Spark? Scalebound? Quantum Break? Also they had Kinect. They experiment just as much as others in the industry. There isn't a shortage of new IPs coming from Microsoft.
