Re: Markus Persson (aka Notch) Ive never felt more isolated: The man who sold Minecr
See, here's the thing ... I don't know why he changed. Maybe he thought he had to or something. But he WAS perfectly happy at one time in his life. Coding away on projects in a room somewhere ... before Minecraft exploded. So go back to that. Fuck the world. Make yourself happy with a little cottage in the Italian… -

Cant really feel that sorry for him either. He went from someone who says he coded and made games for the love of it, to buying an insane house in LA because thats were celbs live, moved from Sweeden and just throws these big huge partys. He gave up what he enjoyed doing because he knows he cant out do Minecraft and thinks… -

This was the space game, I was excited for it, it seemed a lot like other space exploration games, but with a really cool concept, and need to program basic CPUs to help manage your ship. You could share computer code or infect other ships with a virus. It also might be part of Mojang and no longer possible to work on it.… -

If he truly codes for the joy of it, he could just do that again. Or work with a few friends on a small project. It's really only ego that would drive him to need to share it with the world and have to put up with the "Notch standard" stuff. My personal feeling is he should take a year off and travel. See the world! Expand… -

Why would you though? I mean there would no purpose to anything you do. Make a game and it sells, well the money is nothing compared to what you already had. Its not like he even has a brand to build, he's the most significant developer around, the only way is down. This doesn't surprise me though. When he bought that… -

Doom is not particularly fun when you play in God mode with infinite BFG. There's a parallel to life in there somewhere. -

I don't have a whole lot of empathy for the guy tbh. Sure I understand where he's coming from, but there's a lot of people out there in a similar situation who have far harder lives than he does. I think once you buy a $70 million mansion, you kind of give up some reasonable expectations of sympathy with your "oh god my… -

why couldnt he start a really cool indie game publisher or something? he seem to have really nice values and certainly the money. that would be what i would do if i had that money, find projects i thought was really cool and fund the shit out of them. i mean, if he isnt interested in developing himself anymore. share the… -
Re: Markus Persson (aka Notch) Ive never felt more isolated: The man who sold Minecr
I'm pretty sure this is just the internet (and journalists who know better) taking a thread and pulling it into a story we can all argue about on twitter. Notch tweeted the next day that he was having 'one bad day' and that people spun it into depression. This didn't come out in some tell all interview, this is us thinking… -
