not surprising

notch is definitely eating now though

I'm going to start listening to this instead of white noise to go to sleep now. So soothing.

damn this seems to be happening to quite a few devs who aren't prepared for the spotlight

for what Notch actually did, he made hella bank. Good on him.

I'm glad Notch was smart enough to recognize a good offer and take it. There's no way anyone else would value Mojang at more than $2.4B

am I the only person who has enjoyed playing minecraft at one point, or does that make me an automatic autist

io think youre terribly underestimating minecraft's playerbase size

I bought it in early alpha when it was FotM, played up until about beta.

I got back into it a few days ago and I forgot why I even stopped.

The worst game designer in the history of video games just quit and is trying to create autistic drama over it, oh no!

I still play it from time to time, Its one of those games you boot once a year and you play 20 hours straight to never play again until next year until there's a massive update, also bought it in alpha so it was only like $5 which IMO is more than worth it for the time I have spent on it.

What stands out here is how notch bandwaggoned against Oculus rift when they sold out to facebook only to do the same thing with microsoft now.

I don't think anyone has a problem with the game, just with a lot of the people who play it. Sure, a bunch of little kids play it, but that doesn't mean that the game in itself is bad. It was my favorite game for a solid couple of months back in Beta.

"worst game designer" is a very bold statement, but I'm sure a lot of indie developers are glad to hear that their games are better than Notch's

2.5 billion
that's a lot of money.

Notch is now a billionare.

notch realized he was an idiot and minecraft VR happened anyway

While I wouldn't personally say Notch is the worst game designer, I believe he meant it in terms of personality rather then game quality. Notch seems like a nice quiet guy that likes making games but never wanted attention.

Video games are a business.
He made minecraft as a fuckabout sandbox game in his free-time (while working a real job). Then as /v/ got more into it he could put more time into it, and eventually (right around the time the halloween update went live) it went fucking insane viral. He had no intention of it becoming a giant 12 year old filled shitstorm of casual shit. He just wanted to show /v/ the game he was making.
Now, Minecraft IS legos for PC, but if you don't like legos, fuck you. This made it a great, great game for the casual gaming audience to just turn on, let their kids play and all that jazz. Sounds like he got really lucky, and you're calling him shit.
Good job.

I don't want to be rude but what does autism have to do with Minecraft. I have Aspergers Syndrome.

asperger's is extinct dog read your DSM V

my severe assburgers never allowed me to learn how to read peter; please try to be considerate of others before you push your liberal agenda on them
