After looking through the updates that are planned for Minecraft 1.8 I was left kind of confused. People are psyched for these updates, and if content was released in the same way (and on the same scope) in Graal it would have a way smaller reception. People would still be whining about the lack of updates, lack of content in the releases, etc. I think that's funny and kind of sad at the same time. They've gave you all such a strong sense of entitlement.

I like how whoever programmed Minecraft got himself a nice 50 million $ check.

He can't even get it, ROFL. It goes to his company now and according to his lawyers it's easier to take out a loan than to actually get some of his money.

If it was personal income he would have been taxed a huge amount, he's probably living quite comfortably with a nice big salary though. I remember reading that he was just going to re-invest the money back into his business anyway. Gratz to him, millions off a game that isn't even "final" yet.

However at the same time he's getting way less compared to big titles that people pay $60 and only get 10-15 hours of content, if that. However, still ya, he definitely made it big with Minecraft.

See? Care more about the players and the game than the money and you'll go far. Stefan and unixmad could learn a thing or two from this.

They haven't learned in 10 years, I don't think they're gonna learn anytime soon.

Also, Notch hitting it rich with Minecraft had hardly anything to do with him. Ya he made Minecraft, but most of the advertising was done by word of mouth that spread very fast and far. In fact, it kind of happened overnight. Valve Mentioned Minecraft in their blog(saying how much they play it at the office) and suddenly sales went through the roof, making it an overnight success... pretty much thanks to one blog mentioning it. It was so fast that the servers crashed and Notch lost access to his paypal because of fraud suspi-cion.
