I really have to respect the way he set his goal of 2 billion dollars, got the two billion dollars, and then rode into the sunset to a life of freedom and relaxation instead of getting caught on the greed treadmill like so many of the upper class do.
When a company offers you enough Fuck Off money for a game that just peaked, you take it. Microsoft has failed miserably to monetize it and no one new is buying it.
Notch is a fucking billionaire, so he won, but it's still really fucking slimy that they deleted him from his own game.

This is the type of gambler I believe I'd be if I ever bothered with it.
I literally can't comprehend the "oh I can get a little more" mentality.
Brother if I hit a pot and win 1k, I'm out. Same for 5k, and I'm more expeditiously out the club the higher the money gets.
I can't fathom winning/earning any amount of life changing money and then saying "nah I should risk losing it all"
