Is MS going about acquiring games the wrong way?

2.5 billion investing into a mega lucrative IP like Minecraft and the company who works on the games is NOT the same as investing money into risky, money sucking studios who may or may not pan out. Eliminating the Mojang deal doesn't mean Microsoft takes that 2.5 billion and invests it in new studios.

Of course not to mention, MS is investing into plenty of studios and games already.

Why do you think Notch approached them? Every fad has to die some day. He's obviously predicted the steady decline of Minecraft and wants to get rid of it before the value falls. And i'm not saying the cash would go to other studios. It obviously won't. This is MS we're talking about. I'm just making it clear that creating new studios would have been a better investment than one single IP and a small one hit wonder studio.
