Microsoft bought Minecraft for $ 2.5 billion. What’s wrong with this crummy … – Gadzeto Mania

Minecraft sold, the new owner of the brand is Microsoft. What will now Markus “Notch” Persson? We have a few suggestions.

$ 2.5 billion – only cost Minecraft

$ 2.5 billion, which is based on the buck plus or minus 8.1 billion . Today, every child in question resolute teacher who wants to be in the future, says: Notch.

Markus “Notch” Persson, along with the other founders of the studio Mojang Zeng of Minecraft and the whole studio, which went into the hands of Microsoft. The future genius is not yet known, but we can guess that many colleagues already sends him SMS messages like, “hey, let’s do some business.”

Notch, do not listen to them. We will advise you how to spend this small sum of money .

For example, you can finally realize the idea called Psychonauts 2 “Single” was great, but Tim Schafer has never been able to afford it, to create continuity. Publishers also were not willing, taking into account the fact that most games studio Double Fine is a commercial dud y.

At one time, the revived because Notch took into account the financial support . Miscalculated. When Schafer was talking about a few million needed for the sequel, it’s not meant for example. $ 2,000,000 and $ 18,000,000. Minecraft creator had to say belt.

No, not because he was poor back then. Sure he could afford it, but then it would be too big a risk. Today, however, $ 18 million is like spit . And as the two did not come out, it will give $ 32 million to three. And what – and so will not feel it.


100 million for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

But how to spend money, it is only in Poland. For example Witcher. The third part of the adventures of Geralt, CD Projekt RED has cost well over 100 million (June 2013). Assuming that the Reds spent $ 50 million (doliczyliśmy those “above”), the Notch would have funded the creation of new … 50 Witchers. Assuming that the same would cost more.


Rick Sherlund (analyst at Nomura) immediately suggested that Mojang acquisition aims to strengthen Microsoft’s mobile platform. The company quickly issue a new edition of the game, which will be available for users of WP. But this is not the end. Giant spend a version of the game also fully optimized for Windows 8, which will allow a comfortable gameplay in Minecraft on tablets. READ MORE

Probably not, so let’s assume that Notch would become for some a 30 parts of Geralt . A lot. Enough?

We can also assume that Notch likes to read about games. So if the Secret Service intended to include a few ups and downs, each time returning for 280,000 gold like last time (rounded), the creator of Minecraft could finance about 29,000 such “comebacków “. Not only to fall and get up.

417,000 gold cost “free” WiFi in Lodz, which in addition will operate only for half a year – and then it turns out that the wireless network of city do. Theoretically year “free” WiFi for Lodzians costs about 834,000 dollars. That is $ 257,000. And so Notch could give Boats … 9000 years of free internet access .


Oculus Rift for 2000000000

Notch could also buy them from the Symantec logo (1 280 000 000 dollars) and that he still has a lot of logo Krakow (80 thousand). It also become “breaking” at the hands of Facebook Oculus Rift – Zuckerberg paid for virtual reality goggles two billion U.S. dollars, so maybe 2.5 billion would be tempted.


Amazon paid for Twitch one billion U.S. dollars , so yes, Notch can also stand up to fight for this portal. And he wants to play, instead of watching them play others, let them take an annual subscription of Xbox Live Gold (Plus it could, but he loves it now probably more Microsoft – someone is surprised?) – spending $ 60 every year could afford for … well over 41 million years of playing . The family would appreciate Notch!


Notch can also buy many a yacht for $ 300 million. Or give Rockstartowi $ 265 million for each installment of GTA, assuming that it will have the same budget as “five”. Then would generate at least 9 parts of the GTA.

And if Notch wanted to invest in a new brand (and not just one part of) the same as Activision Destiny , which is $ 500 million, it would create 5 new IP.

Oh, and if you want to easily surpass the cost of Notch, is does not play to the Lotto . And so you it will not do anything. Hitting “a six” September 13 have won more than 9.1 million zł. What is the $ 2.5 billion …

Man, Notch, how we envy those problems …
