Nothing can compare to a big lump sum of money before retiring.. look at Minecraft.

My opinion it doesnt bother me if MS buy Steam or not, i enjoy both there services alot.

As for the OP, i wonder why MS wanted to buy Github?

I assume you have the numbers to back that up. So there is evidence that the amount Microsoft bought Minecraft exceeds the money the IP earns had Notch kept it?

I think its pretty evident that Minecraft racks in a good amount of money, its not just the video games but the franchise itself with merchandise etc. No i dont have concrete evidence, i am basically just saying a lump sum of money placed infront of human eyes can be tempting. Valve makes money and Gabe earns his money but i can say Gabe does not take home 100% of the earnings through Steam. He will have expenses.

$5b is $5b. I dont reckon he will sell but humans arent perfect either. Thats is a good retirement fund.
