Microsoft didn't approach Notch about this. Notch came to Microsoft. So what do we do now?

Are you serious? do you need me to tell you whats wrong with that?

No what this thread is about is Microsoft just busting down someones door and money hatting the universe.

Titanfall

Tombraider

Dead Rising 3

Those games are a different situation than Notch coming to Microsoft and saying I want out lets make a deal. Microsoft had no intentions to bully their way itno buying Minecraft and Mojang with their wallets. They were approached with an oppurtunity and put a deal together.

I don't understand how that is aquiring something the wrong way.

The OP even brings up Sony and first party studios they "built" which we even need to step back and realize they bought some of those studios and didn't build them.

 

What? When did I say it was a bad thing? All i'm saying is that it would have been a better alternative to invest into more first party studios.
