3x the Mojang purchase[1], and I still think it's worth it.

3x Mojang makes it sound like MS got a really good deal on Bethesda, at the time they bought Mojang they were really buying a single (very popular) game, while with Bethesda they get a huge back catalogue, some really big franchises, and ID with all their knowledge of engine development.


FYI, Minecraft is the best selling game of all time and has probably sold more copies than every game Bethesda has ever made combined.


And merchandise up the fucking wazoo... that's probably where microsoft is getting a lot of minecraft money as well.
