Why doesn't Steam have minecraft?

[HARDSTUCK S2]

You might say I am a child for saying this but I indeed actually like the game. All the cool mods, etc, you can just do when downloading the game on PC. (Because I don't have paypal and wondered if they would ever put minecraft on steam because the only thing I know on how to purchase game is through steam. With their Steam gift cards.

I think that would be up to Mojang, that's why it's not on here. They just never decided to put it on Steam. Little weird though, considering their Story Mode game just came out on steam.

The story mode is a telltale game, not a Mojang game.

It just comes down to "why pay others to do what you can do yourself". There is no reason to lose 30% per sale from steam when they can competently handle their own distribution services.

Actualy, it is now up to Microsoft as they have bought Mojang Studios and all it's assets/games for something like $2 billion.

The "Storey Mode" is a Telltale game based on Minecraft. Mojang had nothing to do with it's development.

Notch (the ex-owner of Mojang) said he would never put Minecraft on Steam. With it now in MS hand, I would have to say it is even less likely now.

Oh, alright. Thanks for the useful answers.

WHy would a developer who sells their game for profit, sub-let their sales at a loss? The Telltales game is pretty much a high end add for the existing game. A boost in sales for one of the best selling games ever.

Taletale is going to make the cash, after the minecraft share is payed out. Who, as a good dev, wouldn't take a cut of money to a commercial for their game that another company paid them to make?

Just asking. I don't know much about business.

The answer is simple. Its up to Mojang. If they dont want it to be on steam, it doesnt show up on steam. Its as simple as that.

Except it isn't up to Mojang, but to Microsoft as Microsoft now owns Mojang and all it's IP.
