The Minecraft investment by Microsoft was a poor investment. They could have invested elsewhere. In the meantime Notch became billionaire.

At least this will be very good for us all gamers, as he wants to use that money to start developing again from scratch without all the worries he felt when his previous company grew far faster than he could ever predict.
But yes, that was totally a bargain for Notch, not for MS. It's true that Notch had not been personally developing minecraft for some time, but the talent behind the original idea is totally his, the team leader that continued its development is a very good artisan of SW and a good leader, but his past experience tells us that as an original developer he's many steps below Notch's level, and MS got him, not Notch for all that money.

Stwike him, Centuwion. Stwike him vewy wuffly! (Pontius Pilate, "Life of Brian")

Sony: Deciding that it was a smart idea to not refund the $10 TLOU:R preorders. Good thing they changed it right after.

Nintendo: Dem droughts doe?

Japan as a whole been smoking the wrong tweed. They forewent FPS genre, even TPS are sporadic and only MGS series is consistent and they turned even more isolationists after HD consoles.

I'm gonna go with the name "New Nintendo 3DS." Although I'm kind of jumping the gun there, the market will demonstrate just how dumb that is. It sounds dumb to me, though.

It was the way they found to make sure people would still see it as a 3DS, instead of a new console.

It could have been 3DSi though, or something like that.
