Notch was actually given an offer from Valve as well, but he turned them down. I know Valve aren't money hogs, but MS is. To turn a profit, of course a company is going to have to implement a few things here and there to help them make more money, but MS will take it much further than Valve.

Do you guys remember when Rareware was bought by MS back in early 2000s? They completely ruined the company.
