2.5B$ down the drain for MS
Sure the game sells but they won't even make profit off of that in 10 years

Worst case scenario, they lose some money. Not the entire $2.5 billion.

Remember, Minecraft isn't just one of the best selling video games ever. It profits from DLC and merchandise as well.

Ya they won't lose all of it but $2.5 billion is to much for one game to make, even with DLC and merchandise
