I just think Notch did a lot of things right overall. God, I remember that weekend. I remember thinking that it was nice for once dealing with a company (or an individual) that seemed to care about the players. I was so used to game software/network bugs being badly handled. Notch just always came off as a 'good guy Greg' of sorts, simply because he respected his users. Heck, even in the recent Molyneux interview on RPS Notch's I almost want to call it 'sportsmanship' is briefly mentioned. ("He didn’t take anyone’s money before making it with promises he didn’t keep.") I think that more than most Notch's imprint is all over the current Indie Renaissance. The unprecedented success of Minecraft really shattered that ceiling. More than that I really respect him for walking away from Microsoft and the monolith that Minecraft is now in order to build more games. I think it is incredibly brave (although I imagine there was more to his leaving than was publicly disclosed).
