He's a bit disingenuous. Don't care about the money at all? Open-source it and let it thrive. Care about the money a bit, but really want the game to survive?

He's a bit disingenuous.
Don't care about the money at all? Open-source it and let it thrive.
Care about the money a bit, but really want the game to survive? Want the community to have faith in its future? Sell it to Valve for $25m or something on the condition that an API gets built. If it's worth a fraction of its sell price, Valve would have jumped on it.
But instead, it got sold to a company devoted to closed source software and killing its game purchases. And Notch got a fat check for it.
Listen, I can't judge him, and I won't. The game is great, and he built it. But every action in this says it's about money, while none of it shows a care for the game. We'll see how it pans out, but history tells us to be suspicious.
