Notch is Just Done, Man. He's Done

MiddleEasy's Dave Walsh takes a look at Notch's decision to step away from the spotlight and to never build a big game again as simply a sad state of affairs for the gaming world, regardless of opinion on the 'big topics.' Maybe it's gone too far.

I don't blame him. I don't think he realizes that whatever Microsoft does to Mojang and MineCraft specifically, he is gonna get a ton of sh*t for. He doesn't want the attention, but he won't ever not get the attention.

It's absolutely hilarious that he didn't even finish making Minecraft, and he's just taken $2.5 billion and run without a single complete project to his name. I mean it's bad because gamers are so easily duped, but it's also hilarious because it shows just how stupid this entire industry is. He definitely did the smart thing, I'd take the money and run too.

Waiting for the brand new Minecraft flavored Doritos and Mountain Dew.

People identified Notch as Mojang when he really was doing his own thing as Minecraft went full version. People assumed he was at the helm making big decisions when really he wasn't. He was a part of the company but he wasn't THE company.

You can tell he's a game developer at heart and isn't content with one game. He's made his money and wants to do what he enjoys doing.

2.5 billion. I'd sell minecraft for that too.

konnerbllb4263d ago (Edited 4263d ago )

Didn't he co-found Mojang? If so I don't see him getting 2.5 billion, that would be shared. That aside you can bet on MS doing a cash/stock deal where stock is the majority of the deal. I look forward to when more details like this emerge.

i was playing minecraft as a kid many many years ago. the only difference was it was called legos back then and you really built something tangible.

SirDjss4263d ago

Correct, im with you on that

n4gusername4263d ago

Still better to play minecraft, than all the kids playing GTA5.

I used to buy cheap games thinking I’d play them later, but I always ended up returning to my favorites. Now I skip the deals unless I know I’ll play the game soon.

This is very true, my nephews grew up on these two games and whenever I introduce them a AAA game whether old or new, it's like seeing an alien try to make sense of it and then quickly lose interest in it.

Can’t really expect a 8 year old Roblox kid to go buy resident evil 9 lol

CrimsonWing6966d ago

Gaming trends are so weird to me now. Like, I’m old school and games were consumed essentially how movies were. You play through a title and look forward to the sequel or other things that came out. Now, that is so not the norm.
