Notch: Thank you, and we're sorry.

This post is a testament to just how unwarranted his lash outs are. He has people like this saying they feel for him, and apologizing for shit they themselves probably didn't even say (no community is a hivemind, people). Most of you have always been pleasant. I've seen people absolutely adore him, way more than not.

Proof? Look at the upvotes on the post, and watch how I'll be downvoted to hell for what I'm about to say.

He might be sad, things might be bad for him, but there is no way in hell it's "Notch VS the world". That's the way everything he says and does is applied.

Do you know who I feel sorry for? The devs that are still here. Jeb and co have done more work on MC than Notch ever did, have put up with the same amount of sass, and the difference is, Notch took off immediately after the success (before the buy out), and they stuck with it, trying their best to make it better and better. Granted they didn't have a choice like he did, but still, they take it in stride regardless.

They made this game worth 2 billion dollars, they got some of those spoils, and they are still working here, putting up with what Notch couldn't handle.

I'm not speaking for the devs. I'm sure they would disagree with me as well (which is okay. They would know way more about this shit than I).

But maybe it wasn't about the money to them? Maybe they weren't miserable successes like you? Maybe you sold all of their hard work and integrity along with your own? Maybe they have good reason to be mad that doesn't involve your money?

Well which is it? Money=happiness or money=sadness? If he can say "money isn't making me happy" why is he bringing the shit up like he expects it to make the devs happy? I mean, even he said the reason why he sold it was because of the community, not the money.

He bitches about big companies ruining gaming, sells out to one. Was miserable before the sellout, miserable now. Money doesn't make him happy, but expects it to for others. Partying with friends and famous people bums him out, being alone staring at his monitor bums him out. People talking shit angers him, ignores people loving on him.

Everyone, everything is at fault for his unhappiness. Community, the remaining devs, and even his money. He can lash out, and blame everyone, and yet nothing is on him. Raylan Givens said it best

I thank you for creating this game. I thank the Mojang devs for keeping it alive and making it the best they know how. The End.
