Notch - Don't Be a Goat Murderer
- dmortin 14y agoWhy is he saying PC instead of Windows? The PC can be open even if Microsoft closes Windows even more, and one can install an other OS on it. (Of course, it is only true until hardware makers all limit what you can install on their computers.)
- jlgreco 14y agoProbably because, as fair as the gaming industry is currently concerned, they may as well be one and the same. Maybe Steam will start to shift that, and Minecraft certainly already runs on Linux, but right now in the gaming industry "PC" and "Windows" imply the other.
- axusgrad 14y agoI think because he uses Windows, and wants to keep using it for years to come. I've always liked using Windows; I buy an OEM copy every time I build a new PC. If we didn't use Windows, we wouldn't care about Win8. But, we'll switch to Linux if Windows doesn't support our hobby anymore.

- rickdale 14y agoAfter reading that I understand that this J.Callahan character went on a bit of a rant, but I gotta say I don't think it warranted a public direct response. IMO Notch should have done what Callahan suggested and just written the post clarifying his views, not trying to be funny. This is the danger of twitter. "Don't press send" -Herman Edwards
- tspiteri 14y agoPublically calling someone a hypocrite does warrant a public direct response.
