Forums - Gaming - 20 new AAA games or Minecraft

 

You have $2 billion to use on games what would you spend it on

20 new AAA games 345 89.38%
 
Minecraft 41 10.62%
 
Total:386

As I have said before I believe the interest in Minecraft has long past its peak. In saying that, the 20 AAA games is a much better choice, especially if they were all exclusive to Xbone.

I can't believe I have to say it again. MS could make a ROI for buying Minecraft within a year. It takes far longer than that, more manpower, energy etc, to make a new AAA game (or 20 new AAA games) all of which could flop! Making successful AAA games is not as easy as just shelling out $100M.

The thing is, they didn't buy just a game. They bought a community that is very much still alive and kicking. They bought great developers that actually _talk_ to the community. They bought into the mobile landscape which for MS is far more important than 20 AAA games.

What does that mean? Minecraft will be exclusive or what?



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

If only was so easy...

Why no Apple comes and create 400 AAA games with the money they have cashed in?

Or Facebook 100 AAA games with the money spent on Whatsapp?


...because they are not into making AAA games?



Would rather take a $2.5billion stake in Activision than buying Minecraft.

They're gonna feel so stupid when Minecraft ends up in the toilet next to Angry Birds.
