Good for Notch. The writing is on the wall at Mojang anyway, none of their other games are going to be huge breakout hits. Cashing out while he could before the inevitable tumble downwards is p much the right thing to do.

Pinterest Mom posted:someone on twitter pointed out that Disney bought Lucas for 4 billion remember that 4 bil includes indy, as well. not sure how the star wars/indy split is, but still it's actually much closer to the value of star wars than that. which is kind of baffling when you consider how huge star wars is and how long it's been around in several media formats (movies, books, multiple tv series, video games etc.)

to get it out of the way William Safire Orders Two Whoppers Junior NEWS IN BRIEF • Education • Food • Products • News Media • ISSUE 36•33 • Sep 20, 2000 NEW YORK–Stopping for lunch at a Manhattan Burger King, New York Times 'On Language' columnist William Safire ordered two "Whoppers Junior" Monday. "A majority of Burger King patrons operate under the fallacious assumption that the plural is 'Whopper Juniors,'" Safire told a woman standing in line behind him. "This, of course, is a grievous grammatical blunder, akin to saying 'passerbys' or, worse yet, the dreaded 'attorney generals.'" Last week, Safire patronized a midtown Taco Bell, ordering "two Big Beef Burritos Supreme."

not really sure how this isn't straight-up lying butquote:Notably, Microsoft says that it expects the acquisition "to be break-even in FY15 on a GAAP basis." In other words, Microsoft believes it will make back what it has spent on Mojang and Minecraft by the end of this fiscal year (next June).
