How? By making up numbers from stock that isn't near that value? A hundred would mean close to a top 20 fortune 500 company man. It's nowhere near that amount. Not with all assets and stock and everything. Microsoft would not even look at a video game publisher for that kind of value if it were true. So whatever value you're thinking of, it's way off the mark.

So why do you think EA are only worth a few billion, ie. the same price MS paid for Mojang? >50 million (ie. closer to 100 than what you were saying) doesn't seem all that much of a stretch at all from a $36 billion market cap to me. At least not anywhere near as much as a stretch as your 2 or 3 billion would be...

I never said 2 or 3 billion. I said a few. Don't put words in my mouth. That said, market cap is not the most important thing. Everything is looked at. Assets, actual cash, revenue and more. Market cap could actually change pretty quickly as stock does. What would happen to that stock, do you have an idea? I doubt it.
