I took the money and ran.
No idea why Mojang hates me.
Perhaps they are hard jealous at how smart I am for making Minecraft all by myself.
Why would you not take the money and run?
>set for life
>no longer stuck developing a shitty game that should really be considered a prototype and thrown in the trash and remade from scratch, a game whose entire fanbase is now 12 year olds
>have the time and money to now make any game you want
It's a no-brainer.
>people who believe lottery winners should share the prize money with their family
>>334880217
such is life in socialist countries
>>334879828
only a complete fucking retard wouldn't take the money and run.
It's $2.000.000.000 dude
>>334879828
Daily reminder that indie developers are worse than AAA bosses.

It's cut and run, for much less.

It was jeb who did all the work
You are just the genius who put your face on the product and took the money and ran when you could.
>>334880101
once you gain it all whats the point on trying?
Your brain starts realizing you've won, why work again when you can have people do the work for you while ur in bliss living life, traveling, snorting blow fucking hookers, you literally can do everything then you lose yourself.
Would you be able to control yourself? I know I wouldn't id lose myself just with the realization I have all this never ending money that'll keep coming. Whats the point on going on further when I beat life, time to crash and burn.
i still don't understand why MS would drop billions of dollars on minecraft. it would take years and years for it to make that back, and what kind of game stays relevant enough to sells hundreds of millions per year for 10 years straight any more?
Did Microsoft actually do some serious updates after buying it from the vacation man or is it still the same old game with random features added?
>>334880101
because he can't handle the guilt. it's tearing him up inside and the only thing he's done since is lash out.

Confirmed for autistic. He probably genuinely doesn't understand why everyone hates his ass.
>>334883212
Minecraft is going to sell on mobile platforms for decades if they play their cards right. It's already an instant classic and has insane merchandising potential. Every kid 7-12 has heard of the game, just wait for the nostalgia cash ins in 15-20 years
>>334879828
ive played tf2 with notch a couple of times, he was a complete wanker to all the kids who were trying to talk to him and say how cool he was
>>334885972
>notch plays tf2
When, where, and how often? I wish to dominate him as much as possible for the sake of my own enjoyment.
>>334885972
did you ask him to give you some money?
Notch hasn't really done anything wrong besides make a popular children's game
Wasn't he pro-gamergate? Why does /v/ even dislike him?

We don't hate Notch. We hate the fact that he stopped working before realizing the true potential of Minecraft.
And then we just shitpost about how he's such a whiny bitch/autist for complaining about not having any friends.
>>334886192

if i had 2 billions i would get myself a giant car collection, i am not only talking about super cars but every car there is. I would build myself a large garage and fill it with thousands of different cars
>>334886451
But anon, Microsoft has already recouped the entire purchase sum by selling Minecraft merchandise.
>>334886472
Who would get the cars after your death?

He's noveau riche. Plebs who suddenly get super-wealthy find that they can't handle it and it fucks up their life.
>>334879828
Smart. This guy has billions now and will never need to do shit again, a person could live off about 3 million in their lifetime total and be set for a comfortable life. He sold it at its prime and now it'll die down to nothing in the coming months/years.
>>334886528
interesting question, i dont know
>>334886472
>>334886639
>>334886516
Not that guy but of course a massive company made back what they spent. They had the money and advertising knowledge to make that happen. That's why they offered an indie dev two billion dollars - they knew he knew he'd never earn that much the slow way. Besides, after a billion you're pretty much unable to run out of money. $2,000,000,000 right now is worth more to most people than $16,000,000,000 over the next several years of "hard" work.
>>334886062
he played on quad's server a few times years ago, dont think he does anymore though
>>334887054
If the fool had sense, he could have used what he had to create a brand and become a rival with a niche, trademarked product, not a sell out.

>>334887516
Getting a 300k bonus makes you better off than 99% of employees in the games industry. If you want to buy a house with a single bonus payment, join the finance industry.
>>334879828
i wish notch would give me just a fraction of his billions of dollars
then i would be set for life
>>334887619
>Chillest dude
>A big history of violence and assault against people.
The dude was literally your typical ghetto nigga gang member that would kill people for creed and shit.
I hate how people glorify this shit just because he smokes weed, potheads truly are the worst.
>>334887516
You'll never make 300,000 for 6 months of work.
>>334885470
>>334887619
I'd do the same thing.
I grew out of weed years ago, I just don't like how it makes me feel.
I become introverted and sluggish, whereas I like my stimulants to be uppers. It's just not for everyone.
We all have our own poisons.
>>334887880
pussy
>>334888007
Wow m8, you sure showed him
>>334886472
If I had two billion dollars I would pay somebody to be immersed in concrete over all but their eyes and mouth. They would then stand in my lobby all day. The concrete would be removed at clocking out time and reapplied the next day.
Why doesn't he just buy a puppy or something?
>>334888113
Anon, I think they would die
>>334888202
That's their problem.
>>334887982
you forgot to count all the work they put into before those 6 months started
>>334887991
Stims are per definition uppers...
>>334883814
he doesn't feel guilt.
He's miserable because he's a fat bald fuck with a shit personality and can't even BUY friends or women.
he'll probably commit suicide within a year or two if this keeps up.
>>334887393
Notch pls. Your autism is acting up again.
When you have everything, there's nothing left to work for.
Without something to work for, your life becomes meaningless and hollow. It's a feeling we've evolved because constantly bettering ourself leads to a better survival rate, so we naturally feel shitty when we're not doing that
>>334883814
>Billionaire and snoop dog offers to smoke weed with you
>Still miserable
I'm depressed, not a billionaire and don't even smoke weed and that would make my fucking day
>>334888503
You get over it. Once you have money, you can live as a king.
>>334888339
Better yet, weed isn't even a stimulant.
That poster is a dumbass.
>>334888503
That's such bullshit logic. He doesn't have fucking everything, he has 2 billion dollars. 2 billion dollars could arguably buy you everything short of an orbiting death laser, but the fat fuck would prefer to sit in front of his computer and tweet for pity.
>>334888698
Then riddle me this you oak stump
If weed is not a stimulant, then why do all movies where they smoke weed end up in crazy scenarios and whacky events?
>>334888698
>That poster is a dumbass
Fight me, you smelly fucking stoner
>>334888503
What stops him from starting a new project? If money was his only motivator, that's not the money's problem, that's his problem and he needs to figure that out.
>>334888339
You know what I meant
>>334888878
Why would you follow your dreams if you have all the money you could ever want?
We've been conditioned to see money as the ultimate goal. Doing what you love for a living. When you don't have to make a living anymore, it's harder to get up and do what you love. That's why so many rich faggots give away all their shit and donate all their money to 'get back to their roots'.
>>334888789
Because you're underage and posting dumb shit?
>>334888853
Hi flyover state, Colorado says hi
>>334889034
Did you just turn 15?
>>334889034
Because if they are truly dreams, then the money doesn't matter - especially when you already got 2 fucking billion of it.
Still you have to agree that notch is pretty based for fucking off that tranny indie dev. Anyone got the picture?
>>334888769
He's probably in this thread right now trying to validate his self loathing. I wouldn't be surprised if he started it.
>>334889116
>Because you're underage and posting dumb shit?
Wrong on every count I'm afraid.
>>334889116
>American
Figures.
>>334888237
That would be the kindest possible outcome, they would either go insane or kill themselves from the waking nightmare they live each day, if you somehow figured out how to do it in such a way that the concrete itself doesn't hurt them outside of the intense fear and muscle contracting pain of being held still by concrete for hours at a time with no escape.
>>334889116
>stoners getting aggressive
I thought weed was supposed to calm you down? Wow maybe you need to pop another spliff.
>>334889267
Except the part of, you know, being dumb.
You also know alcohol is also a depressant, right?
Here's your ( You ), dumbass.
>>334889376
They are always aggressive and defensive. He will be telling you it cures cancer soon.
>>334889034
Because the reason why most people don't follow their dreams is specifically because they don't have a lot of money. They need to dedicate most of their time to working so they can have an income to put food on the table and pay for shit like loans or debt. If you have billions of dollars, hell, even just millions of dollars, you can basically do whatever the fuck you want. Being wealthy gives you a shitton of time
>>334889417

I know that feel. Came across a large fortune. First thing I did was buy a house, some nice appliances and a couple of cars. then my family went on a trip in several countries. After the initial high mellowed down, I was so paranoid of losing it all and going back to 9 to 5. I had depression couldn't sleep couldn't eat. I was scared shit of losing all my money. Got paranoid that me my wife or my kids would get ransomned or something. money doesn't make you happy at all :(

I really wouldn't, I'm just not a gaudy person. I'd buy a nice but not huge house in the city, buy a sweet car, and then just sit on it.
He could have given a million dollars to each person who worked on the game, and he'd still be a billionaire.
If I ever came across a bunch of money I would tell no one and continue on with my life in a small cozy house and not work for the rest of my life.

>>334891165
he offered each of them 300k, that is more than enough
>>334880101
Notch is slowly committing suicide though. The money is enabling him to indulge in things that are massively bad for his health and he can't stop himself because he had a shitty life as a young man plus he has a ton of adult guilt on top of that.
>>334890124
the amazing thing about 4chan is that i probably called a celebrity a faggot at least once

At some point the blue state governments decided throwing money at the problem was a better solution to housing shortage than, you know, building houses. SF and LA are the perfect examples. Over $600,000.00 for a house under the Burbank Airport flight path. Truly hell on fucking earth.
>>334884110
Minecraft wasn't really a goose that laid golden eggs though. Notch got lucky that a local rich guy bought his goose for more than it was worth, because the only other choice was to throw the money away so might as well get a goose out of it.
Microsoft had a few billion dollars tied up in Sweden and they couldn't transfer the money out of the country without paying lots of taxes, so they decided to buy something that looked like a decent purchase within Sweden instead of giving up a lot of money.
>>334887197
And why would he dop that when he got 2 billion dollars for something he was quite apparently sick to the bone of judging by how many vacations he took
Why would you ever need more dollars than 2 billion of them
If the choice is between having the 2 billion now and having 5 billion in 20 years but having to watch that stupid placeholder art daily for another two decades I'd know my choice
>>334891502
>Notch got lucky that a local rich guy bought his goose for more than it was worth
You're underestimating how valuable Minecraft really was (and still is).

Money allows literally every other goal to become easily possible though.

>>334891502
>for more than it was worth
Minecraft is called the new LEGO for a very good fucking reason. Notch simply didn't want the responsibility.
>>334891563
Maybe I am, but Microsoft would not have paid him the amount they did if they weren't going to bleed money anyways.
I think Notch would've cleared 500 million or maybe even a single billion if the deal had not been so much in his favor.
Either way he would still be super rich I guess.
>>334884238
He won't kill himself, but he'll die from a booze/cocaine overdose.
Or he'll try to rough up a hooker and she'll kill him in self-defense.
>>334891479
I'm sure it's only the blue state governments ,and not the red ones who are leading the charge in deregulating these markets, who are to blame for the current housing prices.

yeah. also since I'm just a regular joe, I don't know what and how to invest, or even starting my own company, I'm afraid of getting swindled :(
>>334887619
Pro tip: Snoop doesn't give a damn about Notch. Snoop didn't get rich by buying weed for sad white people. He only wants Notch to hang out with him so that Notch pays for everything.
>>334888503
I would spend my money on something completely retarded, but absolutely noteworthy.
For example, I would hand over all the money to NASA if it was enough to build a one-way spaceship plus colony starter pod for a mission to Mars.
The only things I would ask for in return would be that I get to be the first person to set foot on Mars. It would also be nice if I could somehow convince NASA to make all the other colonists females, but somehow I imagine they wouldn't go for that.
