Reader Discussion: What Would You Buy For $2.5 Billion?
Today, Microsoft announced that it will be closing a $2.5 billion deal to acquire Minecraft developer Mojang. It isn’t the first major gaming acquisition this year, with Oculus going to Facebook for $2 billion and Twitch to Amazon for almost $1 billion.
If you were at the helm of the Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo ships, how would you spend that kind of money? Would you make a grand acquisition? Hire impressive talent? Or just do what you’re doing more efficiently?
We want to hear your suggestions for the big three. Alternatively, you can just tell us what you would do if Publisher’s Clearinghouse dropped off a giant $2.5 billion novelty check. We’re sure those answers will be just as fascinating.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
