Please explain to me what irony have in saying the business isn't a very soundy decision, as much as MS putting 2.5B in a game that didn't had assured return of that in profit. |
You’re making comments about how little others know about business but then making your own comments proving you don’t know much yourself. I mean look at that last part there you just said about Minecraft, “didn’t had assured return of that in profit”. MS didn’t buy Mojang expecting a quick return of that 2.5B investment. They bought Mojang because they figured Minecraft would make them more money than that 2.5B would collect sitting in a bank earning interest.
Just goes to show the gargantuan difference in funds we’re talking about between the two companies. Sony has a lot less to spend, and a much larger focus on video games to the company as a whole, thus anything they buy must make a much bigger positive impact than MS buying Mojang. Plus the purchase price would be four times as much, minimum.
Not a very smart comparison if you know a lot about business, which I certainly am not claiming that I do, but when you say some people here know “0” about it, that implies you do know a bit yourself.
