Games development is as much a crapshoot as book authoring, so I suspect Notch Prime's game would languish in indie obscurity like Robert Galbraith's books did, right up until someone leaks the association.
- jfoutz 10y agonot really the point. i think notch would be happy making something in indie obscurity. Of course, i'm not him, perhaps he wants more money. I doubt that. Monthly releases for a few hundred users might be something he really likes. i accept that i would never hear about that game, or ever play it - as you say it's a crapshoot. the guy just seemed happy making stuff that other people liked.
- charlesdm 10y agoGiven he didn't optimise his tax bill when he sold Mojang, I doubt he wants more money. Afaik (read an article somewhere) 30% of the $2.5bn he got went to the Swedish treasury.
