They overpaid for sure, but to say it doesn't help is kind of stupid.

It's one of the biggest gaming IPs on both console AND mobile at the same time.

In theory they can pull it from the PS3 and PS4 so the community cannot grow any further. They can also drop the servers or give them low priority etc.

You know what would have been better? Giving everyone a free HALO MASTERCHIEF COLLECTION and letting everyone buy XBO's for $199€ until they reach a "loss" of $2.5bn   Would help the XBO way more than just buying Mojang.

btw prevent those who buy it for 199 from selling it by adding some special stuff that makes it impossible to sell it

That's literally never happened in the history of console games. Give me one example of something that like happening.

I understand your logic, but it doesn't apply to games. 

I was never interested in Minecraft. So I dont care. Plus I am also glad Microsoft didnt purchased Capcom or Platinum games which could have impacted Xbox One positively.

yes it very much does do something. Microsoft will require us to sign up for an xbox live account, and they'll also make the sequel to minecraft into an FPS with HD graphics.

Yes it is laughable to be honest because you know nothing. Microsoft is not broke last time I checked and have boatload of cash they can buy and pay more then 2.5 billion for a studio.And not being profitable part is stupid,for example if they bought Capcom and there games were xbox only and not multi. platform means more would buy there system for those games! The bigger the install base the more overall game sales increase and then profits go up, exclusives are what sell a console and buying a company with more ips like monster hunter, resident evil, street fighter, mega man, and so on would be better then a company with one ip.Building a bigger library of franchises would help ms more and if there already known thats even better or have you forgotten people freaking out over Tomb Raider!

So why people think it's a decision from Xbox division?you guys really think CEO will give Xbox division that kind of money?

Minecraft is already at 1.8, soon enough We'll be at 2.0.

It would be nice to see them ditch mojang's drm scheme. Minecraft accounts get stolen all the time leaving legitimate consumers without a product.

Nope, its more a sign xbox consoles are on the way out and xbox will be a ios/steam like service for multiple devices.  Something xbox should have been from the start.
