Would you have done the same?

Yes. I would. And I would remove myself from society to live in big cabin in the woods with my earnings.

I would have sold it for 3 BigMacs and a McFlurry.

Yes, without a thought or regrets.

Yeah for sure. I’d easily be able to save the lives of everyone in my life with that kind of money.

yes
without hesitation
but i would try to make something else after i think
right after i would get bored of cocain and whores of course
and besides who know maybe he did tried to make something but scrapped it because it wasn't good enough

>sum of 2.5billion
Nah, it's a self-imposed death sentence in my third world country

Does he still play minecraft?

just buy your own country lmao

Probably. Still don't get why he completely abandoned making videogames afterwards.

>buy country
>can't escape to it because thugs are waiting you at an airport

Probably, yeah. Would've tried to do something better with my time afterwards than go nuts on Twitter, but that should've been obvious.

why leave
make a banana republic
just imagine
kids all around the world will be playing a game that was made by dictator

I think he began to realize he was a hack. think of it.
didn't sell minecraft when EA offered.
next he tried making another game called scrolls. that failed.
with minecraft aging he probably isn't seeing sales that he was used to and that the game is just being propped up by brand power. he saw that 2.5bill and took it.

Fucking based

You can do that on less than 100k

how much did EA offer anyway?

would have been fine with 500 million and a 50% stake in mojang

i forget... it was in the millions range but this was years before microsoft made their offer

2bn and 5% in perpetuity.

He stole everything his friends made right?

>makes 2 billion
>does jack shit with it
>ends up depressed
Amazing

Before he sold off Minecraft was he still super rich and set for life anyway? The game was a cultural phenomena of it's time the same way Fortnite is now so I'd expect so

>sell minecraft
>continue working on it as a modder with infinite free time

God no. You know how much propaganda I could spread to young kids as I push a redpilled political ideology on them? Notch fucked up. He had a chance to genuinely change young peoples perception of politics and the world they will grow up in. But he sold it all for some money that hes doing nothing with. What a fucking sad sad story

You gonna get killed lol.

Better question.
Imagine if he had held onto minecraft for a decade, than sold it?

Well, he lived in Sweden which has an extreme high living standard. So he didnt go from dirt ghetto poor to mega rich. I mean, look at him. He is a fat guy in the most skinny country in Europe.

He was already well off from the beginning.
