Notch shouldnt have sold to them. He should have tried to sell to nintendo instead. They may be scummy when it comes to copyright, but at least they arent blatantly evil.
The thing is, the game keeps on generating cash so long as its well managed, so you could easily make over the money you get from selling it.
And how long will it take for your game to generate $2.5B? Will it be guaranteed to generate $2.5B? Are you 100% sure it'll sell forever?
Microsoft gave him $2.5B straight to the bank account, all of which can be used to generate even more money via funds and shit.
