How retarded was he to abandon his game for a cold lonely mansion with jellybean machines...

How retarded was he to abandon his game for a cold lonely mansion with jellybean machines? Zuckerberg was smart enough to turn down a billion-dollar offer for Facebook because he knew that no amount of money could buy the experience of running Facebook. Notch is not as smart as Zuckerberg. Now his brainchild is out of his hands and he just gets to watch people fuck it up for decades.

CHICKEN JOCKEY

i can't imagine calling the lizard smart after seeing him waste 30x the amount on vr slop

180B net worth and building the Metaverse while learning BJJ and raising a family. He knows what he's doing.

oh no imagine being in a cold lonely MANSION

FLINT
AND STEEL

Yeah, compared to your life, it's probably amazing. But compared to making Minecraft: unlikely.

He could have hosted Jack Black in his California mansion

What could have been.

Metaverse is irrelevant shit

BJJ is only useful if you're fighting on the ground in an extremely controlled, most street fights start and end with a single punch

building a family with a chinese wife, ruining his perfect ashkenazi genetics with inferior oriental dna

He may be rich but he's still a retard

imagine being the real estate agent who tricked him into a buying a hollywood mansion

im barely making 44USD a day. Notch already won at the jewish scheme. He just has to figure out the new game+ of life.

He was selling Minecraft, so he had a clear intention of making money from it and that's exactly what happened. I think he's fine.

Fairly smart, though a smart decision can still turn bad if you're retarded.

Minecraft was Game+. There isn't anything better than making and running the most popular game in the world. Jerking off in jellybean manor doesn't cut it.

I really doubt he had any interest in it by the end. Cashing out was the right move. And it allows him to do other things besides being tied to Minecraft. Things like shitpost on twitter

facebook is a complete farce at this point but he still made more money by not selling it

They shut him down

If he were fine, he wouldn't be posting bitter tweets on X and trying and failing to bottle lightning with new games.

Face it. He fucked up. Making Minecraft was the ultimate lottery ticket and he burned it for jellybean machines.

Do you realize how far you have to fall to shitpost on X all day?

Shut the fuck up. Any sane person would have taken the money. Notch is set for life. He can do whatever he wants.

I'd rather be "dumb" with $2.5 billion, than "smart" like you and the Zuck.

minecraft splash texts>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>tweets
simple as

He is depressed and lonely.

He was already rich. Getting richer when you're already rich has limited value. But you would know this if you weren't a brokie.

Yeah, that'd genuinely be miserable, especially when you're in his shoes. He burned all his bridges and fell for the Beverly Hills meme so he's got nobody to hang around with and he's surrounded by people he can't stand. It may be a mansion but being alone in such a huge place void of other people just amplifies your sense of loneliness. Only time I'd ever consider moving into a mansion is if I had a wife and kids so the place doesn't feel fucking empty all the time

Once you're dealing in the Billions of Dollars, you tend not to care about the little block game you made for fun.
In fact, when you're looking to sell your block game you haven't had fun making in a while like he was, 2 billion dollars might seem like an overpayment.

t. moneybrained brokie poorshit who's never made anything

Notch is set for life. He can do whatever he wants.

Money is not everything.

There isn't anything better than making and running the most popular game in the world. Jerking off in jellybean manor doesn't cut it.

You're not gonna make it to the Rapture

Yeah, but you can do a whole lot with it.

im barely making 44USD a day

Haha what the fuck dude

Levers And Chests is being programmed on legal sativa

How will this affect the final product?

Money is not everything.

yes it is

Money is fuel for whatever you need to do, anon. Sure money can't buy happiness directly, but the Drugs and medication you buy with your money can certainly make you happy.

How retarded was he to abandon his game

For 2.5 billion US dollars I fucking would too

The medication can't really make you happy and it doesn't cost that much. Honestly I'm glad Notch at least had the brains to stay out of the limelight after it all, hope he finds happiness in whatever fucked up rich person orgy he ends up having.

He would have been much more retarded to not sell Minecraft for 2.5 billion dollars. Stupid thread.

its not about the money its about not needing to spend half your waking hours at work

Source: your ass

He owns Instagram

You think hookers, mansions, and jellybean machines are amazing because you've never had them, never had anything *close* to them. You don't know how fast the novelty of goods and services wears off. The human brain can only extract so much pleasure from Things.

He will never, ever, ever recreate the adrenaline rush of Minecraft's success. Not in a hundred lifetimes.

similar platform utterly devoid of anything of value but at least it makes money unlike facebook which is now a website for elderly people to get scammed by indians

Nah he's based af and you are just a little cucko Moshe.

Does the majority of this board really would take 2.5 billion dollars without thinking it? I mean, at first it will be fun and amazing not having responsabilities but it will also feel extremely lonely not being able to relate to anyone and you won't be able to tell if your friends are real or are just there to borrow you money. You can also basically do the fuck you want the rest of your life which sounds scary and would probably get depressed after a while.

His ego will.

As if he needs to. I bet he still gets a rush every time they release a new minecraft thing.

He'd be found dead with 6 shots in the back of the head in a clear case of suicide if he turned it down.

Microsoft gave him 2.5 billion for it. He was never going to be able to make more than that from it. If he really wanted more money and had the drive to do so, he can still leverage his name as "the creator of Minecraft".
The way he spent the money may be retarded but taking the deal absolutely wasn't.

hope he finds happiness in whatever fucked up rich person orgy he ends up having.

Ironically he doesn't even get to experience that. Turns out being a billionaire doesn't mean a lot when it comes to living in Beverly Hills. Yeah he's rich, but so is everyone else there and unlike him, a lot of them have fame and looks going for them whereas he's basically just a fat, ugly, and anti-social swedish NEET. Doesn't help that he's an alt-rightard living in an area full of liberal douchebags who absolutely hate his guts purely because of his political beliefs.

I'm mexican in Mexico, i'm somehow thriving by 70% of the standard population since i'm earning in dollars, actually, doing what i do.
Yeah it fucking sucks.

He went a little crazy with his money like lottery winners do. Acting the way you think rich people are supposed to act.

It doesn't even matter. Anon Babble is too retarded and brokebrained to understand that Minecraft's value will keep appreciating over time. He could have waited to sell whenever he wanted and just enjoyed building the game for years and years, getting filthy rich from the revenue. But Anon Babble comes from broken homes with broke parents and just sees a big pricetag and thinks 'ooh money' like a monkey with a banana. The real world doesn't work like that. Human nature doesn't work like that. Notch fucked up.

He could've still used the money for other game projects in theory

The guy made some weird block game with no actual design direction, recycled designs from other small weekend projects, his most iconic design, the creeper, was due to a modelling error. Could you imagine being him and seeing this blow up into being the biggest game of all time and it was all a weird fluke and you know you could never replicate anything like it again? how weird would that be

alt-right

Proof?

.

He was already rich and isolated. Selling just meant he could do whatever he wanted with his life.

He hated the community that built itself around the game and it drove him mad trying to appease and maintain it. I think the last straw was the first minecon, that's when he saw the writing on the wall and wanted out. He wanted to escape the autismfest minecraft turned into before he became permanently shackled to it, much like an artist becomes a furfag artist for a quick buck.
1 billion dollars or be a wage slave for microshit and having to direct a movie with Jack Black, you would have 100% done the same.

he could have enjoyed building the game

implying he wasn't sick of it by that point

he could have made more

as if more billions makes any practical difference

You are just assuming that he could make the game worth 20B the way microsoft did

Selling for billions will always be the best move. His "problem" is that he's a sad faggot who doesn't have friends or any that would tolerate his if he didn't have the money.

The saddest part is when you see all those candy machines lining the wall and realize they were meant for guests that will never arrive.

Everyone considered Notch godlike until his tweets, that's a fact.

Did some fucking youtuber make a video saying this or something? Do you think minecraft was some tiny, obscure game when microsoft bought it out?
Wait, is this a bot post?

Dude went on political rants regularly and even bought into the retarded Q-Anon and Pizzagate shit. That's the big reason Microsoft and Mohjang started trying to distance the game from him as much as possible.

When your net worth is in the hundreds of millions you can live comfortably without working for the rest of your life. With some fairly safe investing you could keep that ball rolling for generations. He was offered BILLIONS.
He didn't need to wait for it to gain more value, it already had plenty (and seemed to be plateauing)

Minecraft's value will keep appreciating over time

he was paid about 5 concords. How long would it have taken to make Minecraft so valuable?

Why would you ever use Zuckerberg as a positive example, notch probably just doesn't have the same psychotic drive to have power over people

literal billionaire that can afford the best personal trainers and anything else he needs to get fit

giant exercise room in his mansion

still fat

hasn't dropped a single pound

has even gotten significantly fatter in his last public appearance

How does this even happen? Gabe was twice as fat as Notch a decade ago, now the roles are reversed.

No, what you do with the money is everything

inb4 muh wife and kids

Microsoft paid 2B because they knew it would keep appreciating in value dramatically. It's very, very possible he could have turned Mojang into a Nintendo-scale gaming empire in 40 years, if he'd played his cards right. Probably the only indie company in the world that could have done so.

Well he put candy machines in front of his fitness room. I mean he could literally have a fitness instructor live in his home.

he clearly got tired of it, so why keep it?

Very very possible

Maybe if you're a Zoomer that saw the success after the fact. The man couldn't go 2 weeks without a vacation while working on one fucking game.

Microsoft has the resources to make billions from Minecraft. Notch didn't.

selling is the best move

Nope. See Zuck.

Selling is for chumps if you're already rich. Only dopaminebrained broketards who fantasize about fucking prostitutes think otherwise.

Plenty of wealthy people get into philanthropy
You just don't hear about them because American MSM is obsessed with the pissing contests between greedy, hand-wringing parasites.

Zuckerberg would never build a music hall. Musk would never donate land for parks and conservation. They accumulate money for the sake of some high score, there's no purpose behind it. This is why Notch feels so empty, he can't fill the void with anything that matters and the American zeitgeist has tricked him into looking down on "the poors" in spite of the fact that his wealthy peers can't stand him.

How do you think companies are created? How do you think MICROSOFT was created? Poorshits, learn patience, please.

Why do people forget how Notch was extremely hated by the fans by the time he sold Minecraft?
Microsoft is horrible with the game but they have the resources to keep it going with the public, with Notch the popularity out wither away with time, he would still be hated, and not make as much money while having to run a company.

Gabe's got a wife, kids, a bunch of boats, and even a deep sea submersible and sails a lot so he's actually staying active and he probably spends a lot of time with his family. Notch on other hand has an ex-wife he no longer sees or talks to and a daughter he no longer sees or talks to. As far belongings goes, he's got money and room filled with candy so he spends all day sitting on his fat ass eating candy and either playing vidya or posting on twitter.

You're wrong, and this mentality is why your net worth is sub seven figs.

The easy answer is you don't brag about it. It's hard to get friends only in it for the money if you never really let on that you have it at all until after a significant amount of friendship has passed.

nah Notch was already despised when he sold out to Microsoft, everyone used to make fun of him for going on vacations with his golddigger gf instead of working on the game

but pizzagate was real

you're a retarded revisionist
people started to get unhappy since the adventure update, then came the internal server and then everyone had a meltdown when he was trying to crackdown on servers with microtransactions

Anon, it's 2 billion dollars.
After about 50 million, you've already handly won the game. Unless you're absolutely retarded, you can easily love the rest of your life on that much.
With 2 billion, you can not only live the rest of your life, but also afford to be retarded.
There's no reason to hold onto it and make more. There's nothing you could do with more unless you're retarded. In fact, you have so much liquid assets, if you start feeling otherwise, you could afford to enter the stock market and make it grow even further.

could be on a yacht doing blow off multiple hookers asses every waking hour of the day

decides to be retarded on twitter instead

what compels someone?

This is the correct answer. I understand losing your brainchild to a soulless corporation (and the bragging of rights of making the defining game of a generation, the highest selling game of all time, and so on), but that is

$ 2, 500 , 000 , 000

I think most people ignore it because the word billion is bounced around so much, in the same way people still play the lottery; because the human brain just can't compute numbers that large. Two and a half billion dollars is a multiple lifetimes changing amount of money and a platform to build generational wealth.

Notch needs to get over himself. He literally "made it". A little more than a decade ago he was posting on here with a tripcode, and is now one of the wealthiest people in the world. Try using some of the insane amounts of money you have to make a new game, maybe? If that's all life is.

So what happens when people get sick of Minecraft? What other games does Mojang make? Scrolls? You think Scrolls would make it big like Minecraft? Eventually a new killer game will release and Minecraft will be but a footnote. Fortnite came close.

I'm sorry, but if you're depressed with over 1 billion dollars, you might legit be retarded

And the fact that the first thing he did was to build a manchild candy factory in his home probably suggests that he is.

Microsoft was at the forefront of a rapidly growing industry. Mojang had a videogame that looked like it had peaked in popularity by the time he sold it.

Achan.....................

Money is not everything.

If that were the case why are commies always trying to steal mine?

Does the majority of this board really would take 2.5 billion dollars without thinking it?

Of course you would, are you stupid? You can set your family up for generations and never have to work. You can just chill and hang out with your family and friends all the time and do whatever you want. I had a blast during covid, only problem being that it ended but I loved having that time to myself.

How retarded was he to set himself up for life

Not retarded at all. He already won.

He didn't have the skills to grow the IP that much and he knew it which is why it was smart of him to sell it. With 2 billion you can just invest it in all kinds of different areas and make enough money that his kids and grandkids will never have to work, assuming he can find a wife

I assume it must be bothersome keeping tabs on everything minecraft, just jerking off in your mansion with 2 billion sounds comfy

It wasn't and anyone with half a brain would instantly realize how retarded it is. Why in the ever living fuck would some supposed deep state ring of insanely rich satanic cannibals run a sex trafficking ring out of a shitty little pizza joint in downtown DC, instead of, you know, anywhere else where they're a lot less likely to get caught like a remote private island?

Minecraft will be but a footnote

No. It won't. You don't have a good handle on how big this game will be in 20 years. You think it's reached its peak. Bud, it hasn't come close. The game is on track to be a multigenerational touchstone with theme parks and a truly vast interconnected media franchise. You simply don't understand how deeply invested in Minecraft the average 7yo is.

He's a billionaire. If he weren't a retarded egotist he'd be enjoying retirement and fucking a new woman every week.

Only pornbrained losers think this is the win condition rather than raising a family. You think random pussy is infinitely enjoyable because you've had so little (or none).

because local trafficking connects to international networks?
and jeffrey vindicated the idea so what are you even denying at this point

Notch didn't have the resources or the capacity to do that

Buddy, if Microsoft offers you $2B for something, that means they internally think it's worth at least $10B. They are not retards. They've done their homework. They know the thing hasn't peaked.

Why is raising a family such a fucking important thing for you incels that you consider it "the win condition" as if that wasn't a completely subjective thing

He was talking about the scenario that Notch's never sold it

Honestly, he could spend his life sailing around on yachts getting blown by an ever-rotating slew of lingerie models as he eats the best food in the world and drinks the best wine in existence until he dies.
There is no "brainchild" that can be worth trading in a life in paradise for.

Zuckerberg is an idiot who is chained to his throne.

Didn't everybody give up on this metaverse shit?

You can't outwit biology. If you don't have a family by a certain age, your brain will torture you for it.

Has Disney made $20 billion after buying Star Wars from George Lucas?

As your brain tortures you for not making your dreams come true? Or for not getting that promotion? Or for not having a car as nice as your neighbors?
Weird cope.

A starving African probably thinks your life is paradise and yet you're miserable. Human satisfaction is a moving target.

Spending ANY of your revenue on women

Good thing he didn't

I agree. I'm not miserable but would I prefer to live in a nicer house and have a fatter bank account? Yeah.
My point is that there are very few of those targets that can't be reached with a billion dollars.

You're young. You'll understand in time. But be warned. Don't fuck around too long. The levels of pain you will feel for not listening to biology will surpass anything you can fathom.

Humans (well, humans above-average intelligence) are differentiated from animals precisely because we're not completely at the whims of biology. We're more complex than that, we're above that. You're just a coping old man, sad that others aren't suffering the way you are.

Hindsight is 20/20. He had no idea Minecraft would have the longevity it currently has.

get over 2 billion for a thing I made

I'd take it in a heartbeat too so I can move onto other projects.

I'm pretty sure I'm older than you are, and my time has thoroughly come and gone. Now get back to whatever rat race you're currently in and keep telling yourself that your choices have silenced the sadness in your brain.

Microjeet has been doing such a shit job at minecraft, i hope they are forced to sell the IP at a loss and a freak accident happens that burns most of notch's money except just enough to buy back mojang so the fat fuck has to develop the game forever

unfortunately it is

Micheal De Santa moment

He flat out took the idea guy gold core from Infiminer, tismed it up and actually executed, then sold out. Minecraft was never good and its success is age biased in a generation with no developed filter or baseline after games went through a long period of being absolute dogshit.
Not only was it not good, for all the billions it is worth it hasn't even became good or grown even with the modding scene and a bunch of kids obsessed with it. If there is anything there to experience, it's observing lunacy of childen in creating redstone shit better off done with lua in gmod or something.

Much like fortnite except that game actually managed to downgrade itself by lowering its loot pool per season and becoming 100GB of skins and rap taunts to sell, so maybe in their filter it actually did improve.

Kek no, the desire for sex and status is pure biology. Your culture is just dumb and lost the ability to help people prioritize their desires. Happened to Rome as well.

A billion is more money than winning a million dollar lotto every month for the rest of your life. Notch fucking made it and you would have to be retarded not to take that deal.

i wouldn't give a shit. well, I never created anything worthy enough for it to be bastardized by some corpo, so I'll never relate Everyone says he's miserable and lonely shitposting online. Well, thats a lot of people and Notch is lucky enough to have enough money to last him generations. I would shut myself in a room in Nebraska if I had that kind of money. I'd live a life of lonely self imposed misery if it means never having to work again.

Didn't you hear?
Jews are mutating into separate species

Honestly he should just use his gorillion dollars to fund the things he likes
if I was as rich as him I'd offer a huge sum to get a new kaiji season with the old composer back. And then fund all sorts of good shit like a proper 2d berserk adaptation, or do my best to revive old studios like westwood. Fund games that are in unpopular but good genres like arena fps games.
You get the idea.
Being able to stop a tremendous loss of kino would fill my heart with joy even if I was the laziest, loneliest fuck on the planet.

Also, sometimes I wonder if the reason coom developers earn so much on patreon even when they do fuckall progress is because of some eccentric billionaire that has a bunch of bots that donate money to any project that is popular. Or are there really just that many people that are willing to pay large amounts monthly for specific porn?

Buddy, you overestimate the number of things you can buy or do with money. The reason billionaires buy luxury cars is because there just ain't that much cool stuff even on the market to buy. The global market is finite and surprisingly fairly lame.

I would take it and start making a new game. A proper AAA game with SOVL

He was already a millionaire, and the mansion didn't make him happy. He could have made those billions anyways just by investing in building up a larger company to franchise his IP, which is all Microsoft did anyways.

The later, rich millionaries don't need to fuck about with bots that's just retarded

Selling out is in essence, the goal of starting a tech company or creation of IP for the majority of normies. The only people who value creation and IP are those who know what it's like to fail (sometimes dozens of times). Notch never knew what it was like to make a game that you put hundreds of hours developing only to have it blow up in his face over and over, all he ever knew was gamejam student projects.

As far as Zuck is concerned, he would have just started another 1t marketcap tech company right after so there was no point in selling Facebook/meta anyways.

He's a billionaire, it literally doesn't matter. He won at life. He's more successful and happier than you can even come close to imagining.

If you really cared about creating, you wouldn't mind your creation not becoming hyper popular. Seeing it manifest is way more rewarding.

Why don't you see more rich people fund stuff like that anyway?
The only examples that come to mind are gaben funding some webcomic he liked and that one saudi oil prince that is fucking around with SNK, you would think more rich guys would fund movies/series they liked in the past

Zuck moved on to AI now, company is still part of the mag7 and very big

the important part is that he's enjoying a sport, also it let him dab on Elon (who challenged Zuck to a cage fight and pussied out like a bitch) he can hire bodyguards with guns for protection

"perfect" "ashkenazi" genes

He's not doing too badly if you look at it objectively.

Selling out is in essence, the goal of starting a tech company or creation of IP for the majority of normies.

Yes, because they lack long-term perspective, overestimate the experiential returns of wealth, and underestimate the experiential value of deep problem-solving.

New Kaiji season

Wasn't the arc right after S2 just a ripoff of the other creator's work, Akagi? Like down to the general plot and everything.

idgi either. id fund so many games and mods. instead notch sits there crying about how lonely he is.

Why would you ever make a post to broadcast how little you know about a subject and how retarded you are?

Mansions suck almost immediate, high end hookers NEVER GET OLD if you have a healthy sex drive, and i'd just want a star wars episode 1 pepsi machine.

death to kikes and retards

It's a fucking TOY man. Get over it. He probably thought Minecraft was better in the hands of somebody else. Minecraft wasn't even his idea originally.

True, but being able to make a living off your work is also rewarding. The trick to not selling out is by degrees. Making money is not selling out, whoring out your IP to toy deals and movie deals to entities outside of your control is selling out (also known as licensing)

starving africans dont even have to wage.

How would you know they don't get old, goonfag?

Getting into a high stakes Mahjong game against gangsters

seems the same to me

Yeah man, clicking around on the computer in an AC room for 70k/year is sooo hard.

Gaben also owns an entire deep sea diving company and Scott Cawthon funds Republican Party politicians including Trump.

How retarded was he

jej

Now his brainchild is out of his hands and he just gets to watch people fuck it up for decades.

He doesn't care.

Anon At this point facebook in the too big to fail category. Zuckerberg doesnt have to much besides listen to people doing the actual work.

Then why does he bitch on Twitter about it?

He's a programmer, of course he's gonna choose numbers. Programmers always do shit for money.

harder than just being

the dude is constantly 2 steps from having a kanye tier melty on social media and has been irrelevant for over a decade.

Then why don't you take up a life of starvation, genius?

The average person is incredibly lame and would rather just indulge in pleasures and do nothing more. That extends to rich people.
That's why there are a ton of rich people buying yachts and so few of them doing things like Jared Isaacman paying for an actual space program or that Nike kid who bought Laika.

Why would he have a melty? I'm out of the loop.

All he had to do was make a new account and surf the web anonymously like everyone else.

Because i don't want to be surrounded by niggers

Don't use that word, dumb bitch.

he should've bought a sports team or sum shit and have sex with the cheerleaders

Porny zoomers are just sad, man.

He was already checked out years before he sold it

He was posting "white lives matter" and admitting to being antisemitic.

I was calling notch lazy when he was disappearing for weeks at a time, all the time when he stopped updating the game. The absolute worst thing to ever happen to Minecraft was when he went to reddit and they started sucking his cock, lapping it up and then he put a price on the keys. I had my $1 key from the beginning until that MS takeover shit made everyone convert to their launcher.

Reddit ruined Minecraft and treated his tiny miner game as the second coming of Christ. Breaking Bad was based on notch, he's Walt wanting that second bit of glory after giving up his legacy and greatness for a fiat currency except notch didn't have a family.

People just don't understand how big a number a billion is because their only exposure to "billionaires" are with the top 10 richest people in the world, who rake in hundreds of billions, so the concept of 2 billion just seems like whatever. But look it at from the bottom up. Say you make 100k a year. It will take 10 years for you to make a million. Doesn't seem that bad, right? You could realistically do that in a lifetime. Now realize that it would take you 10 thousand years to make a billion at that rate. And he did it only 5 years. So yes, if you don't take the $2.5 billion, you are an idiot.

how much of that candy is expired at this moment, do you think? he probably doesn't eat through it all fast enough

But he is so lonely in his mansion and he has no friends because I said so

Does the majority of this board really would

billionaire

He wasn't retarded. Odds are, unless someone steals that money, he's keeping that shit to the grave.

eggman

It really is a ridiculous amount of money.
He got the money at age 35. If he spent 100k every day and managed to live to be 100 years old (unlikely considering how fat he is), he'd still have over 100 million left over.

Notch is /ourguy/

His company would have given him the boot. They even removed stuff he put in the game out of spite. As soon as he started making any politically incorrect comments on Twitter they would have disowned him and he would have next to nothing to show for his efforts.

This. He got out right before the tidal wave could crash on him.

Jews have high self esteem from controlling the media so long, Swedes have no self esteem for being such cucks, pls understand

Money isn't everything, but everything requires money.

Taking $2.5B but not being able to do anything with it except fuck hookers on yachts is the ultimate orangutan claw

How retarded was he to abandon his game for a cold lonely mansion with jellybean machines?

Anon. That was the smartest move he's made and you would have done the same.

Anyone claiming he's lonely or stupid are just jelly as fuck.

But he can do anything with it? It's his money.

The other anon gave a conditional that you can't work if you accept the $2.5B

Work as in job.

when he made 2.5 billion.... every gaming journalist and twitter faggot got all butthurt and tried their best to smear his name by saying he's lonely or that he was stupid or whatever.

They all just miserable assholes.

I would take it, retire from work, keep what I need to live with, and become an angel investor in shit I care about for the remainder.

It's almost like it's the biological instinct of every living creature to reproduce so they don't end up as a dead end in the gene pool.

I dunno what's the breakpoint where it's not worth giving up your passion project, but it's definitely a lot less that 2 billion, kek. notch definitely made the right decision at that scale, he's a total retard for buying the jelly bean mansion but it doesn't even matter with that kind of money.

I'd do the same for far less

I have no clue who the fuck Jeffery is. There's literally been no evidence to prove that shit was a real thing. Pizzagate just proves that even if a conspiracy theory has been discredited, there's always going to some schizo retard like you who'll cling to it for dear life.

The dumbest part was that he moved to the Hollywood hills. There's a ton of amazing coastal areas in orange country that have just as big and amazing houses that arent covered in smog. Hell, even Santa Barbara. He really did get tricked into living in one of the worst places to live if you're super rich. I mean, it's still nice to but there is so much better locations, within an hour or so from there

Microsoft really did have the resources to take Minecraft to the next level. It still would have continued to be successful had he not sold it but not like it has been over the last decade. There certainly wouldn't be movies and shit. Microsoft overpaid for it at the time and had to invest a ton of resources into it to merchandise it

notch should just buyout Wurm Online since he started that before minecraft and flesh it out more.

Reminder, sony spent twice as much to buy Bungie than what Microsoft spent on Minecraft...and I think Bungie still has full creative control or something too

Do people still play Minecraft? I never played it but I remember it was all I heard about and that there were like summer camps dedicated to Minecraft and stuff. I haven't heard about stuff like that for a while. I know the movie came out but it the game still popular?

If you can't be happy with money you're mentally ill. There's not a single aspect of my or anyone's life that isn't immediately solved with money. If this isn't the case YOU ARE MENTALLY ILL.

Zuck is a psycho and the world will be better when he dies.

Notch is just a fat nerd.

How retarded was he to abandon [INFINITE MONEY] for [INFINITE MONEY]

?

This has been the longest running urban myth since forever.
There's multiple YouTubers in LA who confirm that he threw Diddy style parties with infinite hookers and coke.
Ethan Klein (who I don't watch) has mentioned being invited to them and saying they were crazy parties where bitch just has his cock sucked 24/7. He bitched online like once or twice but he's been dead silent because being that rich is literal heaven beyond your dreams.

blowjob jutsu?

The difference is Zuck knew to play the long game and had Google's business model to work off of. The "Meta" umbrella has become as much the "internet" as Google's has.

notch only had Minecraft and there was no way he was going to be able to turn it into the Pokemania-tier monstrosity that Microsoft was able to.

If all you're obsessed with is making the big number get bigger of course you'll be miserable.

Stop watching porn, you fucking loser.

I tend to play it from time to time but nothing higher than 1.12.2

heaven = drugs and sex

failed normalfags are so embarrassing desu

I wonder if I would personally get bored of unlimited hookers, I'd definitely indulge but I do agree, there'd have to be a cutoff where it's just not as exciting. Might take a while though, kek

Looking back now, it was probably for the best. Both for him and Minecraft. He clearly didn't know how to run a business and didn't have the personality to crack the whip to get others to get shit done. If Notch never took the deal and Minecraft staid indie, MS and a ton of other AAA companies would have rushed in to make their own Minecraft clones. They most likely wouldn't replace Minecraft but they would have eaten away at it's user base. MS buying Minecraft basically made everyone else back off the genre, leaving it the only one in town.

a known lying porn addict jew said that the guy who's known to be lonely and depressed from selling out is actually a long-term coke-addled whoremonger

>all the sources directly and indirectly mentioning his isolation is an urban myth, but the singular account of kleinberg's hearsay is definite fact

say it ain't so

money lets you ignore all the bullshit problems and focus on actual stuff

implying monopolies are good

implying roblox didn't immediately seize the space that microshart eroding away at the game made

>slow and steady is worse than corporate and sterile

You're a fucking idiot.

Terraria mogs Minecraft and has since the beginning
MS and Notch squandered all of the potential of the game on dollhouse trash, zero significant additions that actually spice the game up

post the house you'd buy if you had infinite money

if i had infinite money i'd still be living in a little cabin in the woods
fuck all that gay-ass shit

I'm too good to live in a house made of paper, straw and dirt in the forest

???

that looks like a faggot house that a faggot would live in

no u

100% this

some jewtubers who will make up any shit for views said it but doesn't actually have evidence so it must be true

I'll bet you watch videos like "dark web loot box unboxing" and "calling my dead mum at 3 AM" videos and think they're legit too.

The metaverse has ugly safeslop characters so it will fail

This is wagie cope.

Yeah the only way to be truly happy is to work a 9-5, compete in the rat race and budget all your purchases otherwise you'll be "too happy" and your brain won't register any appreciation.

Get real, imagine seeing the sunsets of Maui, buying an industrial 3D printer to print warhammer minis, then buying every Warhammer mini set to compare just because.
Scrolling Instagram for models you want to take a shit on.
The only schedule you have is for world class spas that give you the secret elixir of immortality.
Getting stem cell injections and taking Ketamine

Some people don't want a family, some people just want to party. You think everyone with a family is happy? You think a billionaire wants to split his assets with some random broad?

You're all retarded zoomers who only play video games. You have no idea what life can offer you with infinite money. There's a reason why notch doesn't give a fuck about video games anymore. Video games are for poor people who don't get to travel or fuck. It's a simulation for the awesome life rich people get to enjoy.

How retarded

He doesn't have to do shit for the rest of his life and can eat like a king

"coke and fucking isn't the best thing in the world" - t. never had either

insane cope from this failed normalfag right now

yikes

Notch was always a depressed fatfuck even back in his glory days in /agdg/. He struck gold, sure, but for someone like him it was probably not the greatest experience. He was constantly anxious in his public apperances, caught a bunch of flak for his work ethic, experienced personal losses, yet he hit a sort of stride and became a wholesome person of interest in the public eye. He then married his landwhale and declared her the love of his life. She left him just about a year later and took all she could.
This breaks the man. And the broken man started lashing out and ruined his reputation and became a PR nightmare. Then he got the opportunity to be fuck you rich, saw that most of his bridges were on fire anyway and tried to turn a new leaf. But you are still you, it doesn't matter if it is a hundred thousand dollars or two and a half billion dollars, on the inside you will be exactly the same. He chose the cookiecutter new-mney rich lifestyle and secluded himself on a dead-end-street of hedonism surrounded by equally miserable new-money victims and the sickophants and parasites they attract. He sleeps in a comfy bed, doesn't need to leave the house, gets fancy dinners, and sometimes cries in the gold plated shower when he thinks about the wife that betrayed him, the friends he lost, the death of his alcoholic father and the shit he saw in the trenches at Minecon.
Everyone thinks being rich is some amazing thing, but being rich is still living, and at the end of the day, living just sucks. It's supposed to, strangely enough.

NOOO HE LOST THE CHANCE TO MAKE MORE MONEY, WHY DID HE TAKE THE 2.5 BILLION DOLLARS?

Honestly what the hell do you expect Minecraft to turn into? GTA? It's just a kids game where you build shit.

some coke and hookers is fun, all coke and hookers all day long, presumably, has to eventually get a bit boring. I'm thinking like once a month, that way you don't run through the local hot hooker population too quickly

Money has always been the drive and the end goal. Heck, you need money to play video games.

living just sucks. It's supposed to, strangely enough.

why?

some people aren't this emotionally invested in their concepts once they've been executed, my man. you have to move on regardless of their success. otherwise this same mentality is what leads to you obsessing over failures as well, and then you just stop refining your craft.

They keep mixing Notch with the degenerate zoomer streamers that blow their money on cars and whores. Some rich people just keep to themselves and that's the kind Notch is.

Um I thought he was making a retro bobber.

2 billion was unironically not that much considering how much revenue he could've made if he didn't sell

I don't work, I don't have a schedule, I have enough in savings right now to book a flight to Hawaii and I have a 3D printer which I already print Warhammer minis with because Nid armies are bastards to stock. I don't use shitstagram, and I would never want to (or any social media crap) because I prefer Anonymity and I don't want to dull my perception of reality with mind-altering brain-damaging narcotics.The fact you chase cavernous whore pussy like it's the be-all-end-all, while calling others underageb&'s is almost hilarious, if it wasn't pathetic.
You're just a fucking retard.

cope

I think the only person "coping" here is you, as you continue to delude yourself that the false light at the end of your vapid, materialistic tunnel is heaven, and not an oncoming train. He who treasures everything he has is already rich.
The only thing I'd do with a bajillion moneys would be to arm myself to high hell and back until I live in a small-scope fort, hire a PMC, then buy out + short the silver market (to crash it) / continue to buy out physical markets until there's nothing left, and then wait for the hoardes of UN Peacekeeper seethie weethies to come after me. Infinite money would bring me a quick death, but I'd take a lot of far more deserving people out with me.

Hytale has been in development since 2015

NEETs being judgemental about notch's choices and about how he became a billionaire

But then hee have to manage it instead of just living like a lazy asd

This. They complain while sitting on their ass waiting for the next souls slop.

Going from 100k to 1mil is a bigger change than 1mil to 5mil but a lot of people mistakenly assume the benefits are largely linear.

i dont blame him really.
he just coded some dippy little game that got way more popular than anyone couldve anticipated.
there was no way he was going to keep up with updates and expectations as a solo dev.
dude wasnt cut out to lead a dev team either. he wouldve just turned into a fat virgin John Romero if he did.
people were giving him shit for his slow empty updates already as early as Beta 1.3 and 1.4.

at least now a faceless multi trillion dollar company gets the blame for that.

even if he was smart enough not to sell, you know he'd be forced out the moment he opened his mouth about qanon

Because evolutionary baggage always tries to nerf us back to baseline. Ancient machinations inside us are convinced that if we get too happy, too complacent, too relaxed, we're not going to survive for long.

BJJ is only useful if

stopped reading here
its like saying the same shit about boxing, its meaningless. at its core, its a SPORT. most boxers wouldnt last in a street fight either aside from the hyper autists who are retardedly quick/strong

Reminder notch has yearly multi-million dollar raves where normies take drugs and have sex. While he watches and remains a pussyfree loser. Peak cuck behavior.

production.club/notch-dotparty

Money is freedom which is everything.
The kind of money he has means he and any dozens of generations of kids he may have (lmao) would never have to work again.
He's free to go literally anywhere and do literally anything he wants in an economy where most of us will have to work well into our 70s only to have to pay for our own retirement after saving up for 55 years.

Metaverse

lol

Reminder that some parasitic party-fixer convinced Notch to pay for the companys multi-million dollar rave

FTFY

Poor people get cutlery salsmen and girl scouts, rich people get this sort of shit.

Let's be honest here, betraying friends and being alone in a mansion is the kino route.

Old fuck here. Maybe it's just you, or social pressure. But

The levels of pain you will feel for not listening to biology will surpass anything you can fathom.

is ridiculously overdramatic, stop trying so hard

a mexican in mexico makes more money than me

the us is doomed

He can do whatever he wants.

So what's he done since Minecraft?

This post reeks of deceit and ill will.

The experience of what, being insulted by autistic losers every single day?
He's yet another proof that money doesn't fix your life if you're a retard but keeping minecraft wouldn't have done anything

So why didn't he give it all away, then?

So why didn't he give it all away, then?

Because he realized that he'll never achieve success again, it was pure luck and timing that made minecraft successful and that is probably what kills him the most. He isn't anybody special.

It's not exactly a jellybean machine, it's a Swedish cultural phenomenon called "loose candies", you have shelfs full of small or individually packed candies, one kind of candy per compartment, and you shovel them into a paper cup, then pay per kilo. In more upscale versions these can be self release so you just hold the cup under the opening and it falls into it.
It's the most infantile thing you can like as an adult person, this is shit that 3 year old babies get excited about. You guys don't understand how absolutely cringe this shit is.

ecause he realized that he'll never achieve success again, it was pure luck and timing that made minecraft successful and that is probably what kills him the most. He isn't anybody special.

Why do you keep projecting?

Hur är läget Markus?

projecting

It's been a decade, he hasn't done a single thing since then and he literally has 365 days a year to fuck around. Some people have that drive, he doesn't and realistically he's going to die of a heart attack soon.

Get family out of cramped shit box house and fund whatever they want to do

Live dream of eternal NEET

Fund some games

I'm already a soup of mental illnesses with no friends and no plans to make any, what's the problem

can I send him an email and ask for money to make MY game?

what would stop you?

Cope
Cope AND faggot wall of text, yikes.

Yes. I'd spend 1 billion on paying family debts, buying a large but non-majority stake in some real estate company, buy a couple BTC, and then spend the rest buying a small home with a decent amount of land so I can grow crops and raise farm animals.
Then with the next 1 billion I'd invest in cunny devs and artists. I'd flood the Internet with little girl cunny and I'd personally fucking track down the Fortune Summoners dev and force him to make me Fortune Summoners 2. The last 0.5 billion I'd store in stocks, bonds, and my bank.

Why would you put anything in the stock market if you have fuckoff money and want to live a quiet farm life?

Because I have faith in GME :)

Get owned, chud.
