Darn it! The ONE studio that I really wanted them to set free and go back to how well things worked before, and they tighten their grip. Whyyyy?

This likely represents increased freedom and faster decision making for Mojang and King.

Moving up the org reporting chain lets you do more, because you have fewer people to convince.

It’s not as good as being fully independent, but that will never be an option for Minecraft again. Actually being spun off might even be worse, because any new owner will be even more fixated on just the numbers.

Probably because their game made the bucks?
