Unless there's plans for Minecraft 2; not the most sensible of acquisitions seeing that sales are practically maxed on all the systems and there's not much money left to be made. It's an amazing brand but only viable for MS if they continue it with a sequel. Terrible news for the majority of gamers though and probably the game itself as they'll make it exclusive and probably have a ton of DLC for any future editions. The unique thing about the game is that's it is accessible to people of all ages from PC, to phones, to tablets to consoles old and current gen, it's laden with content and is like a virtual lego creative tool for younger people and gamers alike. I can really see Microsoft ruining all of that for the sake of money.
