$2.5 billion to port a game to windows phone? There has to be more to this story. I don’t know of a single person who chooses their smartphone based on video game availability. But, perhaps Microsoft has estimated that some of the 50 million users of minecraft will eventually turn into windows phone users. Seems like a stretch to me.
