| Swordmasterman said: Gabe have much more money now than Microsoft, is willing to give for Gaming, Gabe, have 2+ Billions on Revenue of Steam, and Already made Multiple Billions with Steam, have games that already sold Dozens of Millions of Units, and i think that he made atleast a Dozen of Billion with the Games Gabe, have. Microsoft's Maximum attempt was Minecraft, 2.5 Billions of US$, and still don't get the Money back, so they don't have the Reasons to Burn money on a Division, that still does not paid the last Crazy Aquisition. |
MS still have the most money for being a bigger corp, Valve is a private one at that.
They spent money on a single game IP, I'm sure they could afford to spend a lot less on an IP to create a small studio or two, Ensemble didn't cost billions to make, not everything does, MS only offered that much while Notch didn't even make any sort of mention as to how much he wanted.
MS isn't going to get Gabe on their side or Steam to cease to exist or merge exclusively with MS. MS is going to have to make things on their own from the ground up in order to compete and spend some good long years working hard at it.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
