Damn, Minecraft is carrying the software side of MS's gaming division haha. Smart purchase.

sure. it prints money. but the best part of minecraft is not the sales. it is the fact, that is does not cost tonnes of money to develop, maintain and advertise.
big difference compared to a normal AAA game.

and they only burned "useless" oversea cash for it
smart acquisition

Yup. Cheap revenue meaning high gross profit which goes directly into boosting their bottom line. They'll make back those 2 Billion in no time.
