Why did he sell it?

>>388668719
10 figures.

What would you do if you could sell something you don't really care about for billions of dollars, to a company that would basically do what you've been doing with it? They won't even ruin it more than you even if you did care about it a little.

>>388668719
$$$

>>388668719

He wanted to ensure none of his descendants ever had to worry about money.

>>388668719
Why would he not want to sell it? Reminder that Notch is one of us, he just wanted to be NEET, play/make vidya and shitpost on twitter all day.

>>388668962
>>388669151
what about honor

lots of pesos and not having to care a bunch of autistic retards

>>388669351
He's not a faggot

Because he'd rather live the good life and shitpost on Twitter all day instead of wasting his time developing a game.

>>388669351

Quiet, Angeal.

>>388669351
What honor? The guy didn't care.

>>388669351
Honour about what? It's a fucking video game and he wasn't entitled to work on it any more than he wanted to.

>>388669351
What about it? He wanted to sell his product and make more money, he is 110% entitled to do it

>>388668719

>>388669459
This, notch is the final red pill.

If someone offered me a billion dollars to retire from catering to artists and live comfortably for several lifetimes, I'd fucking do it to.

Are you crazy?

He even gave the employees a gift of 250k each so long as they remained with a Microsoft for 2 years. Not a bad fucking deal for them either. With 250k you could take part of that and create a nice nest egg for investments to keep feeding you money.

>>388668719
How much did he actually get after Swedish/American taxes and that stupid house?

>>388669482
but microsoft is evil and doesn't pay taxes...

>>388668719
Because he lost interest in working on it and wanted the money.

I actually find it refreshingly honest that he's just come out and admitted that. A lot of people would say some shit like, "I want to work on a different game," or something. Notch just openly admits he was tired of working on the game and just wants to shitpost and play vidya.

>>388669719
Notch did not love his creation. For him, there was no value in holding onto it. In the end, Minecraft is in no worse shape in Microsoft's hands.

>>388669731

>Honest

"I don’t see myself as a real game developer. I make games because it’s fun, and because I love games and I love to program, but I don’t make games with the intention of them becoming huge hits, and I don’t try to change the world.

"Minecraft certainly became a huge hit, and people are telling me it’s changed games. I never meant for it to do either. It’s certainly flattering, and to gradually get thrust into some kind of public spotlight is interesting.

"A relatively long time ago, I decided to step down from Minecraft development. Jens was the perfect person to take over leading it, and I wanted to try to do new things.

"At first, I failed by trying to make something big again, but since I decided to just stick to small prototypes and interesting challenges, I’ve had so much fun with work. I wasn’t exactly sure how I fit into Mojang where people did actual work, but since people said I was important for the culture, I stayed.

"I was at home with a bad cold a couple of weeks ago when the internet exploded with hate against me over some kind of EULA situation that I had nothing to do with. I was confused. I didn’t understand. I tweeted this in frustration.

"Later on, I watched the This is Phil Fish video on YouTube and started to realize I didn’t have the connection to my fans I thought I had. I’ve become a symbol. I don’t want to be a symbol, responsible for something huge that I don’t understand, that I don’t want to work on, that keeps coming back to me. I’m not an entrepreneur. I’m not a CEO. I’m a nerdy computer programmer who likes to have opinions on Twitter.

>>388670224


"As soon as this deal is finalized, I will leave Mojang and go back to doing Ludum Dares and small web experiments. If I ever accidentally make something that seems to gain traction, I’ll probably abandon it immediately.

"Considering the public image of me already is a bit skewed, I don’t expect to get away from negative comments by doing this, but at least now I won’t feel a responsibility to read them.

"I’m aware this goes against a lot of what I’ve said in public. I have no good response to that. I’m also aware a lot of you were using me as a symbol of some perceived struggle. I’m not. I’m a person, and I’m right there struggling with you.

"I love you. All of you. Thank you for turning Minecraft into what it has become, but there are too many of you, and I can’t be responsible for something this big.

"In one sense, it belongs to Microsoft now. In a much bigger sense, it’s belonged to all of you for a long time, and that will never change.

"It’s not about the money. It’s about my sanity."

Pic related is a calculation, this is what would happen if Notch put 500k into a high yield dividend stock with an output of about %5.41

This isn't even accounting for the fact the stock will grow with time due to it basically being a mutual fund.

AND THATS JUST 500,000 USD THATS NOT EVEN ALOT WHEN YOU HAVE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS

Or how about the fact that the very idea of Minecraft was done by someone else first? What he did better than the other guy was marketing, which is what he was, a marketer. He is a business man. He never gave a shit about the games.

Unless he pours a ton of money into a new project or startup company that produces something worthwhile, it is clear as day that he never gave a fuck. He was just looking to make money. Which is fine.

He's supposed to be an atheist nerd turned billionaire and he can't use his money for something as simple and rudimentary as funding a few science research groups for fuck's sake? Literally ANY direction in life would serve to direct his money to potentially useful investments. He's everything wrong with society, hoarding wealth and doing absolutely nothing with it.

$300k to each of them to be more specific. He technically didn't have to give them anything so I think it's far better than getting nothing. However, putting into perspective that he had literally thousands of millions of dollars and it seems like a very meager amount to give to the people who at least in part helped him make all that money.

Games nowadays suck, the dream of developing good vidya is dead, so you might as well drop everything and chill forever with riches.

>>388685989
That makes perfect sense, of course, in light of the fact that jews are the wealthiest group of people on Earth and make up the majority of the banker and financier class while contributing nothing of tangible value to society. Very astute conclusion from my post anon.

>>388685409
It's all about to end anyway, he started talking about Pizzagate. He's going to have an accident soon.

>>388669351
He didnt even like working on it when he owned it. All he really wants to do in life is vacation, and now he gets his dream. Lifes about following dreams not holding on to your autistic creations.

Why would you keep it?
Especially if you got more than enough money to live in extreme comfort for the rest of your days.

Let some other fuckers do what they want with it, if they ruin it, it's on them and it's their money that they've squandered.

Have you seen all the screencaps of Notch? He's been pretty fucking great ever since he's sold Minecraft off
He's fighting the good fight

Notch could give 1 million dollars to each person in the US and he would still have over 2 billion dollars.

I hope a rich man does this someday. It would totally fuck over the economy and would be comical to watch.

If you accept that global human trafficking exists than it should be no stretch of the imagination to assume that children are easier to house/feed/transport than adults.

This is something you never hear about due to the extreme taboo and high level corruption surrounding it.

I will drop a few hints though, Google "The shabad" and Touro Rhode Island. You'll find evidence of a centuries old human trafficking industry that never went away.

A lot of people would gamble it away so we would still have a decent amount of wage slaves. Or the fed would just inflate the shit out of the dollar.

hi notch

>>388688726
Notch proves that you don't have to have quality, hard work, dedication, or work ethic to get rich.
You just need a product and a million idiots who want it and don't care if it can easily be better.

If notch is that noided about pedo elites and shit, why would he sell to Microsoft? They're just going to use it to groom kids and shove more sjw shit down kids throats. But, then I realize it's 2 billion dollars and you can buy a really comfy island, house and hammock while you watch the world burn.

it wasn't a smart move to sell since minesperg will generate 2 billion in a few years time. He got conned so hard.

Money is one thing, but I think having the most autistic fans in the world was what really drove him away from it. Just imagine the constant tweets with bullshit "ideas" and complaints from children you'd have to endure. It's a wonder that he hasn't gone crazier.

>>388689534
>still white knighting a billionaire
Why did is MC worth billions while Infiniminer is unknown to newfags such as yourself?
You probably don't even know about the MC/Infiniminer comparisons or early claims that it was just a ripoff of infiniminer. Dumb newfags.

Yeah, but at what cost? I can envy his money, but I do not envy the position he has ended up in as a public figure. If you ever get this many money don't. tell. anyone.

You will get absolutely flooded with beggars and "business properstions" and other bullshit people who want your cash, that you start developing trust issues and end up lonely and isolated.

>>388689485

A lot of the money came in because of porting to the Xbox, which wouldn't be possible without the deal. Plus, as if you wouldn't accept an offer to buy your game that you don't care about anymore for 2.5 billion dollars. Anything after a billion is padding as it is.

>>388668719
>Why did he sell it?
he got tired of being the sellout and Charlton that he we was so he cashed out to at least try put that behind him.

Cause remember what he promised /v/ what the game would originally be when he first shilled the earliest versions on here. That essentially he was striven to make his dream game but then sold out like mother fucker for the easy cash.
Its understandable and all given how much fucking cash he made off of it. But it must have been soul crushing to the point that he managed to make a cool 2 bil off that hardcore selling out.
