Seriously bringing MS defense shit in your response is just so childish. Chill out, evrything is not about MS vs Sony you know.

Perfectly understood the OP and my point is exactly about it. Buying Minecraft is not only about the game... I'm not going to explain it again if you cannot comprehend why. So asking for a AAA game vs Minecraft is just pointless as you need to take into consideration other factor such as the brand value which is in that case WAY more than the game itself.

You didnt understand the OP, if you had, you would understand he was talking about gamers point of view and not corporate pov so we dont care about the brand value for them.

lol yah right... The OP is talking about Gamers point of view specificaly on a sales website. Okay, I guess I missed that specific sentence :)

Look, you may want or believe that we should be talking about a gamer point of view but in now way the OP is asking about a gamer point of view, esp while posting dev. cost... It may be the case and it may be more conveniant to you tho.

You were talking about being childish but you are the best example of childish post in this topic.

It is obvious OP is talking about gamers pov, didnt you read the poll ? And if you have a doubt about that, just ask him, he will tell you the same thing, i wonder how you will spin that after his answer

Another of those thread... The OP does not get it at all.

They are not buying a GAME but a brand... And a VERY successful one...
For instance do you think the Halo brand value is less than 2.5 billion?


Maybe you don't het the OP and are being hasty to defend a MS move...

He is just asking each person if it was their decision they would preffer to invest in 20 AAA or buying Minecraft... I can certainly see why most gamers would decide for having more games to play instead of trying to defend why a corporate bought a brand.

Halo is certainly quite valuable, but do you see Minecraft 2, 3, 4, reach and BCC having close sales to the original? Or the movie and TV series?

Yes, the childish me can't stop seeing how you constantly defend MS, not even put sony in here.

And if you understood OP question how have you come to the conclusion he wasn't asking as gamer would you choose 20 AAA or Minecraft but instead gone for the brand which would be a defense on corporate not gamer standpoint?

Also I have asked people that were defending this maneuver to give a bussiness plan and a ROI, since they think this was a really good move I would like to see them sort out that in numbers and strategy not just say "MS made a great movie having this franchise will look everyone in MS system"... can you make it?

Seriously if you do not like my POV because it is not a gamer point of view as you would like, just deal with it.

Leave the polite, level headed and mature guy with his opinion of the OP said a thing he didn't and he trying to spin it not to agree... don't think we would make anything from insisting.

Lol are you real? Please chemc your post history ans check who is constantly bashing MS then.
A business plan? I see because you know what Microsoft is going to do with that cor aure right and you know that the ROI is not good already just because you are an internet gamer forum expert right?

I'm no more expert than you but please stop pretending you have a clue of what you are talking about here :) Using buzzword (strategy, ROI, wtc...) will not make you more credible and I'm pretty sure those guys and business men at MS know what they are doing.

Honnestly when you start to annswer in a thread by mentionning MS defense force, you just close the door to any intelligent debate or oppinion exchanges.

The only one mentioning a defense force is you.

And I just wanted anyone that thinks this is a really great move to show how they think MS is able to turn profit on this buying... not just say that because MS made it them it must be good, this is what you are doing, but you don't seem to really accept it.

But since you already said I'm childish maybe there was no hope for intelligent debate whatsoever. And the difference between us both is that I hape no problem accepting that I usually don't put MS in a good spotlight, but you are trying your hardest to say that being a MS supporter have no influence in your answering.

Won't answer to the second taunt because as I said to Aerys there is no point in keep discussing with someone that will spin anything to avoid accepting he is wrong.

EDIT: And on the very wise guys at MS, they were the ones that made the reveal a complete blunder, DRM and PR nightmare... they had to fire a really wise Mattrick, put a gag on Major Nelson and now rellying on Phill Spencer that even being a lot better still make some terrible spins. But I'm sure this time they done 100% right and there wasn't any other best move on using 2,5B because that is the one they choose.
