Today's rumor seems to be that Microsoft is to buy Mojang for $2 billion. Damn...

So not 2 billion, but 2.5. Double damn!

I foresee a lot of changes of direction and vision there...

Notch has a understandable reasons for wanting to leave Mojang.

A certain other employee put it a little more bluntly.

"I took your billions for an unfinished product, I got stinkin' rich, but you know what? You still don't deserve me!"

Who cares if it's unfinished, it is a cultural phenomenon.

Notch got rich doing a) what he loves and b) something that isn't evil. We should all be so lucky.

Selling out to Microsoft is the very definition of evil.

Could be worse. Could be EA.

The definition of evil is exploiting people with gambling addictions or OCD with slot machines disguised as games.

The definition of evil is defrauding people who purchase your clone software because it imitates the popular software they intended to buy.

The definition of evil is propagating the popularity of the military industrial complex and continued militarization of police forces and claiming innocence because you're only selling a product.

So tell me again how getting a paycheck from Microsoft is the definition of evil.
