smart choice, imo. it was pretty obvious he got extremely lucky with minecraft considering he has yet to produce anything else of note (including any updates to minecraft itself). he had a space shooter that was going to be made and then there was scrolls but i haven't seen anything else. makes sense he wants to get bought out my microsoft. I would in his position

Notch is p much the dream scenario of every game dev. Make a gently caress ton of money on your game without publishers or having a large company to support. Then after you make you gently caress ton on every platform every you sell the rest to Microsoft for another gently caress ton on top of the first

Mach2 posted:I think notch is a cool guy and considering he never asked for massive fame I don't blame him for trying to slide out of the public eye tia Yeah, there was a time where he probably enjoyed it a little, but with the millions that minecraft has already made him and 2.5 billion on top of it he has the resources to pick the life he wants. After reading his blog post it makes more sense. I'm just annoyed about his "if I make something that starts becoming popular again I'll kill it" statement. 0x10c looked really good, and I'm sure he'll make something else that looks good. And we'll never get to play anything other than his tiny ludlum dare entries because he won't even release his half finished games when he abandons them.
