Tell me about Notch.
he's a big guy
He lucked into the right game at the right time and cashed out when he saw the corporate money come calling.
Normies will wrongly consider him a god of game design for generations to come, really looking forward to having to contradict all these millennials who eventually take "History Of Videogames" in their 2025 college classes and learn about how he is the "Steve Jobs" of videogames and about what a masterpiece of game design Minecraft is.
i can't wait till he kills himself due to depression.
He's going to kill himself after a few years.

Even more like George Lucas than Tim Schaffer, gets more shit than he deserves mostly because everyone loved minecraft and didn't want him to sell it to Microsoft, also screwed his ex employees over, could of set them up for life but gave them peanuts. 2bn dollar neet. We're all jel.
Does he browse /v/?
>>318176909
This is so edgy anon, you must be really cool.
pretty much a guaranteed suicide within the next 5 years
>>318177213
He did but couldn't handle the bants and fled to Reddit.
>>318177213
He viraled the shit out of Minecraft on /v/ when it was in Alpha / Beta phase.
Good times
He likes vacations

>He lucked into the right game at the right time and cashed out when he saw the corporate money come calling.
living the new american dream
>>318177297
when was i trying to be edgy i'm just stating the obvious...
>>318176607
Hello Markus, come to give /v/ the money you owe us for shilling your game in early alpha?
>>318176883
Hey! I do game development. I'll let you in on a secret. Everything you just mention about his supposed master piece is already known actually its encouraged.
Its been like that long before minecraft came into existence, however there is one lesson that i would like to highlight from his rise to power.
When you write a program, don't release your code open source or someone will come along and repackage it as a "game"
>>318176607
I have the same first name.
>>318176607
I love that he just cashed out and is enjoying his money now, most people keep working, become managers / CEOs, try repeating their initial success. His streams are pretty comfy:

>>318176607
Tell me about Notch! why does he wear the hat!
made all the right choices at all the right times, fortune well deserved
>>318178268
are those candy dispencers?
>>318178462
Yes.
>>318178594
he deserves to be fat
just like that scott cawhton guy, you've gotta give him credit for managing to get a fuckton of money over a stupid game
i wish i could make dumb popular games, but that's mostly luck based
>>318179063
I'm not sure what you mean.
How would someone "not deserve to be fat"?
Fatness is due to personal choices, so everyone who is fat, is fat because they "deserve" it.
>>318178268
>>318178462
>>318179063
Is he still complaining about being alone and having money on twitter?
>>318179243
hes rich enough to have that much candy.
im no better man and i would do the same
Someone post that image with the Guidos and Basic Girls in his party.
Didn't some indie bitch demand money from him or something?
>>318179569
She tried to bully money out of him but failed horribly.
I used to hate him for being a lazy fuck and abandoning minecraft in favor of swimming in money.
Then I realized I'd have done the same fucking thing. Now I'm pretty indifferent, judging from his tweets he's actually a pretty self-aware guy.
>>318179863
he seems like a really cool guy
Hes a hack that got lucky copying the right game at the right time, got featured on a TF2 blogpost and then refused to sell his crap game on Steam.
>>318179863
>Swim with sharks
>>318179863
>>318179779
Based.
>>318179779
>>318179863
He's a pretty alright guy honestly, /v/ is probably just jelly that he swims in money
>>318176607
His game got too big for him, he just wanted to sit at home late at night and program his little games
>>318176607
Once upon a time there was a lazy, obese swede who liked videogames.
He got into some java programming and was involved with a game called infiniminer. He realized that this 3d version of overload was sort of boring and that it was far more fun to build shit with the blocks.
He then took the source code while playing innocent to the other dev and devised minecraft. From then on he went on /v/ and had the backing of /v/'s hype to help him conceptualize minecraft into a fun game.
After all we did for him though, we never meant much to him and he abandoned us with some "ew 4chan" excuse.
He then started implementing portions of concepts that would imply a gameplay direction for minecraft. Patches that made the game into a procedurely generated adventure game with emphasis on exploring, patches that improved the sandbox/building concept and patches that made the game into a survival game.
They never meshed with each other very well, and they were never complete. Overall, it ruined the game and Notch just let it slide, thinking his half-assed patched were content.
Despite all, autists and children became obsessed with virtual legos and notch as incredibly successful.
He then sold his broken, unfinished game to microsoft for 2 billion dollarydoos, bought a McMansion intended for tasteless rappers who "hit it big" and then fell into deep depression because he has no friends and is too uncreative to do anything with his 2 billion.
>>318179863
Same here.
With the exception that I'd use portions of my wealth to hire a bunch of fuckers to make games that I would like to play, with me being simply the Idea and money guy, and maybe do some art for it too.
>>318179863
I would probably fund a few games, open a tiny studio wile investing in properties and stock. Keep the studio fed by the royalties while swimming in my billon dollar bill pool.
>>318176607
He likes vacations.
>>318176607
>tons of weird, rickety, sketchy "game dev" hipsters with their tryhard "kewl" haircuts and fancyfresh urban styles all clamoring and climbing over each other to be "Muh Epin Rawkstar Gamedev Success Story"
>They to everything "right." Everything "correct." Read all the right books. Visit all the right websites. Join all the right communities
>spend more time on their public image than actually developing video games
>along comes some fat slob, the antithesis of everything the indie scene has become
>"lol checkit my game Minecraft tbqh famalam"
>makes millions relatively overnight.
>bounces along happily the whole time, goes on vacations, doesn't give a shit about image
>finally cashes out entirely to the tune of $billions
Tell you about Notch? Notch single-handed short-dicked every grasping faggot in the indie dev scene, and it was glorious.
Honorable mention goes to the Flappy Bird guy.
>>318176607
>all that money and hes still bald

>>318180407
Cookie Clicker also became a massive hit despite it being fucking boring as shit.
Orteil has done far more interesting things than that.
>>318180407
>>along comes some fat slob, the antithesis of everything the indie scene has become
there was no indie scene before notch. He put indie games on the map.He also brought Early Access cancer upon us
>>318179863
>tell dad I love him
Why is this so hard?
>>318180643
How does that even work?
>>318176607
can´t wait until he is gonna use all that money he got from Microsoft to found psychonauts 2 and all develop all the other games that he has thought up
>>318180801
Just take a marker and paint your scalp.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GeF7A05zQ8
>>318180786
Very hard, considering his dad killed himself a few years ago.
He didn't mean to betray you /v/, he thought he wasn't wanted here.
>>318176607
That's total butt cancer not notch
>>318176607
A disgraced programmer who lost his wife, his companies, and his friends all due to sloth and greed. He has never made a worthwhile update to minecraft, all the refining and good work was done by other programmers, and he's abandoned every other project he's worked on.
His old workers and friends barely saw a dime of the 2.1 billion he walked off with because he refused to let them have stock in the company. Literally a worthless man and deserves to be completely forgotten.
>>318177213
He used to but rather went to Reddit because they suck his dick there while gets both real and sarcastic criticism here.
>>318180287
Fuck that I'd do coke and ladyboys all day, only asians though.
>>318178512
Add in some waterfalls and you got yourself a real comfy lock screen
fat cunt
>>318177097
peanuts? he gave each of them millions of dollars and most of the work was performed by notch on minecraft so why the fuck shouldnt he get the most?
>b-but he should have given all his money to his employees!
dont you fucking faggots understand he created a business? what fucking owner of a business gives all his wealth to his employees? literally none, you faggots have retarded expectations
>>318180786
Well, if you knew my dad...
I bet Notch never spends more than one billion so he can always be a billionaire just for the social status label.
That's the kind of douche I believe Notch to be.
If I had two billion, I'd secretly help create Chinet, which is Skynet made by Chinese factories and then watch China try to take over the world with killer robots pouring out of their countless factories. By the time the factories were bombed it's delivery trucks all over the world would be unloading the killer robots right into your cities.
Funny end times, they'd be
But seriously I just read an article about China showcasing their new fleet of gun-armed killer robots so Chinet is already happening right now.
>>318181763
Enjoy your aids senpai.
So what is the difference between Notch and Gaben, considering /v thinks the first is an alright and successful guy while Gabe is a greedy pig
>>318182280
Once, it was a reversed situation.
/v/ be a fickle mistress.
>>318182082
Are you retarded or merely a child?
With 2 billon you can only buy something like 13 F22s (150M each), not counting maintenance, fueling or pilots you can barely mantain a small airforce.
And you wanna do what? Finance future tech? China will sent you home with your puny billons... or maybe stole them and put them with the thousand trillons they aready have.
>>318182280
>>318182280
there is no difference, their fatness envelopes all things so there cannot be a difference
>Was in the first Minecraft threads
>Found it to actually great fun
>Mods came out and it got better
>Yogscast show up
>Goes to shit
>All those updates killing it
>That fanbase
Notch did what we did, we jumped off the ship when we could.
>>318182717
>Yogscast
You know we don't talk about those stuck up assholes. I still remember when they join my favorite server. They insulted the owners and admins and then wanted special treatment and items.
>>318182717

I wish I got the chance to play Infiniminer, that actually looked fun.
