MineCraft for $2.5 billion? Really, Microsoft?

What on Earth did you think? Sure, MineCraft is a really cool game and millions of people play it. There’s a great community, zillions of add ons. All great.
But 2.5 BILLION? What amazing things you could have used that kind of money for:

• finish the development of Windows 8
• continue to finance the Robotics Team and make it something cool
• fix a game you bought a long time ago and then ruined

But no, now it’s MineCraft. Pretty please, don’t screw it up this time. That would be a real pity.
