Notch is "one of the creative minds behind Minecraft."
That's an interesting way of saying creator.
pretty sure he borrowed the idea from some guy doing a gamejam he was also part of. improved on it a bit and rushed it to the public
I went back through old emails. I paid 9.95 euros via Paypal to Mojang in August 2010 for my Minecraft "premium" account. My kids, who didn't exist then, are still using that account (now transitioned to Microsoft) today. Wild. Probably the best $10 I've ever spent.
I'm sure that's true. And Jens should be acknowledged too.
But Notch is the creator. This kind of newspeak reaks to me of Obama's "You didn't build that."
''One of the creative minds behind Minecraft.''
He made the game but expressed blasphemous thoughts, so he got downgraded to ''one contributor''.
I think he just enjoys the coding and wants a project to keep himself busy, it's more for him than players. When he's not doing that he's just playing games like Satisfactory.
Coding in obscurity can feel pretty bad, if you're used to seeking validation through this hobby. For those types, it's only natural one might try to rouse people into running your stuff.
He's been "teasing" this game for over a decade. I imagine it's hard to stay motivated when you've got a billion dollars in the bank.
Don't forget his gold-digging ex-wife who claimed her cash and prizes exactly 365 days after the wedding.
Would that be the Scrolls one? Or the crygenic-freezer-gone-wrong one?
