- _vqpz 11mo agoNotch has said he would do many things and rarely follows through with them. I'm still waiting for 0x10c.
- ecshafer 11mo agoHe sold the game to Microsoft, his promises kind of don't matter anymore.
- _vqpz 11mo agoI think you meant to reply to the parent comment, I never mentioned Minecraft
- einsteinx2 11mo ago> Once sales start dying Has that part ever happened?
- I_AM_A_SMURF 11mo agoTBF sales didn't start dying
- mechazawa 11mo agoThe only upside of that game was that I taught myself assembly because of it. Even though it never released
- ntoskrnl_exe 11mo agoI'm pretty sure A Minecraft Movie has already made more money that the game had made when he made that promise. Back then he couldn't have foreseen the size of the money printing factory that the game would become.
- pixl97 11mo agoI remember when Minecraft was sold for $2 billion and people thought it was madness and would never make the money back. Since then they've made that back on game copies alone, and god only knows how much from movie/merch rights and microtransactions.
- PeaceTed 11mo agoNotch has said a lot of things over the years. Many after the sale to Microsoft were not so great. Suddenly without purpose and more money than he would ever need in a life time, he found a new purpose that wasn't so great. A lot of Qanon rants and other conspiracy things. Just goes to show you that some times it is best you don't get what you wish for.
- scotty79 11mo agoWhat is he up to recently? Did he come around?
- beeflet 11mo agoI have been following him, and I think a lot of the claims about him have been exaggerated. He stopped being so edgy on twitter after watching the "this is phil fish" video. It is an interesting watch and applicable to notch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmTUW-owa2w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmTUW-owa2w He is developing a new voxel-like game called "levers and chests", and before that he has shown us a few cool webgl demos I find interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYMy7TPsNd0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYMy7TPsNd0
