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… -

And he took insane hate from a very very large fan base for new decisions and update on Minecraft even when he was no longer working on the project. -

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… -

Didn't he own 70% of the company? It's not like he was actively working on Minecraft or left them in a bad situation, Mojang is still making so much money, $2.5 billion x 30% is still 750 million, and even if that's broken up evenly by there 10 person staff, $75 million, stupid amounts of money. Anything over $5-10… -

I compare Notch's success to winning the lottery. There's more than a few articles about the aftermath of lottery winners. One of the better quotes: "If you're unhappy, you’re not good at managing money and you’re surrounded by people you don’t trust, a big win will probably make your problems worse. If you feel fulfilled,… -

His whole scenario I can only relate to unlocking all the cheats in a game and getting bored after. The guy is a billionaire, I can't even comprehend what that must be like, let alone having to figure out which friends are genuine and who is just there for the ride. Depression isn't linked to your financial status, I can't… -

I can kind of relate to where he's coming from - I've obviously not had the fortune to experience it first hand, but it makes sense to me. Like most developers he had his little project and his goal was to get it out into the public eye and make a success of it. The majority of people that do this never really get there,… -

meh, He should just form another game studio or try out experimental projects with a team like a brainstorming R&D team if he's bored and lonely. Sort of think Will Wright, John Carmack, Ken Levine, etc and how they dipped their toes into other fields or started one of their own offshoot projects. Partying can be fun, but… -

make that much cash and then tell us how everything did not change for you... he had more money than he could possibly need before he even sold it, go for it start a project, let it grow way past your own imagination and way above your head and be the ass for everyone and everything you have not been involved with in…
