I was laying in my bed, and i decided i want to play some minecraft. So i did and there i saw it, on the news of minecraft in the minecraft launcher, minecraft for windows 10. Then something in my head ticked and this 'Theory' came into my mind. What if Microsoft had all this planned ahead? What if Microsoft bough Mojang because they planned ahead! Well my theory is this;

Microsoft bough Mojang because they had it all planned ahead, they were creating windows 10 HoloLens, and after they bough minecraft windows 10 HoloLens were announced, also one of the first games showcased on Windows 10 HoloLens was Minecraft, so what IF they planned it all ahead to buy minecraft, create it for HoloLens because this would make them fortune! Holographic minecraft is surely amazing, and there are millions of minecraft players, i think you can put the rest of the pieces together.

This is only a 'Theory' so tell me your opinion on this.

Of course they planned it. Buy Minecraft - A popular game - Then advertise their new OS playing Minecraft! Also advertise the Hololens playing Minecraft!

No, they couldn't do that. Disney would beat them to it by a longshot.

no, buying everything is ridiculous, far too expensive to be viable and at some point there is no return to be made as the economic calculation problem sets in and the company collapses under its own weight

the strategy is buying as few popular enterprises as needed to stay clearly ahead in customer numbers in their business field

mojang just needs a few guys to develop for them, while engaging millions of customers
that is a great purchase at just about any price

similar story with google and youtube, and facebook and whatsapp

^ this.

This isn't Orwell's 1984. Don't overreact about things - Microsoft thought it would be beneficial to buy Mojang who owns a game that has sold millions, they did and now they're free to do whatever they want. Simple as that.

What does "This" mean? The purchase of Minecraft? If so, I agree. However, the state of the world is pretty much 1984 all-round, just not as extreme in some cases but worse in other ways (like people paying for their tele-screens and carrying them around everywhere without the need to have them forced on to your person or property).

"Minecraft would make Microsoft fortune", Microsoft already has a fortune.
More likely Microsoft bought Mojang to promote upgrade to Windows 10 and to buy Hololense.

microsoft bought mojang because notch tweated (as a joke) that he would sell minecraft for $2.5 billion and microsoft replied saying they would pay that for it
thus notch became a billionaire
