Here’s How Microsoft’s $7.5 Billion Zenimax Deal Compares to Other Big Gaming Acquisitions

Microsoft – Mojang – $2.5 Billion

With Minecraft at the peak of its popularity, Microsoft bought the developer, Mojang, for $2.5 billion.

Microsoft continued to publish Minecraft, its add-ons, and its spin-offs on other platforms, unlike what they have done with IP from other acquired studios.

It was also announced at the time that the three founders of Mojang would be leaving the studio and Minecraft became a Microsoft-controlled title.
