When MS bought Minecraft I was thinking what they were thinking, Minecraft was already past its prime, there was no way MS were going to get their money back. Almost anyone who had wanted had already bought and played it and youtubers and twitchers had already dropped it. But quick google search doesnt say anything about MS losses. It's like who cares, what is a few billion of dollars here or there for MS? And Minecraft is not the kind of game that you can make a sequel for, it would be like sequel to tetris, you can release it but it will be just another one of millions of versions of the original.

Minecraft will get side games/ content over time. Not only this, but it can be used to leverage xbox/windows 10 pc. Microsoft always responds to the market and what the market wants. That is why they're rich.

The market has been demanding exclusive games and MS has been ignoring them.
