I'm having a hard time feeling sorry for the guy. He thought his success was a testament to his engineering greatness, acting like he was John Carmack. Money doesn't buy character, decency or real friends. Notch is feeling the sting of his arrogance? He doesn't have my sympathy.

He was just really lucky. He stole most of the ideas from older games, and repackaged them in a horrible turd of a codebase, acting like he invented programming. That guy build a folder tree in the filesystem because of "performance", which means he put a trie on a b-tree because he didn't know about the latter. Also so much for "I'm going to open source this, once I'm rich and famous".
