I learned everything I needed to know about notch when the first thing he did with his billions was to buy the tackiest house in all of Los Angeles.

The issue surrounding this (the context of the Watergate joke) can be swiftly ignored when you act like this. Nothing will change him. He's an ass hole who now has the power of a billionaire, and every time he sees us say that it just bolsters him. He's done.

I don't pay a lot of attention to Notch. Is it just a result of the threads I click, or does he constantly say scummy things on Twitter?

Seems somewhat aggressive of Notch, I mean it was a pretty standard disagreement until he brought that up out of nowhere. I feel like there is a missing piece here, but I looked and nothing.

Yeah he switches from snark to scummy. Seems like he wants to start arguments.

Yeah, I'm sure the billionaire Minecraft dev with nearly 10 times the social media following (and far more rabid fanboys) really has to worry about someone bringing down the wrath on him and not the other way around. What a twat.

He's been getting progressively worse in recent months.

I can't help but feel sorry for him but holy shit, he's such an insufferable goddamn child.

Dude is such a scumbag, and I'm talking about way before Microsoft bought Minecraft. He has literally always acted like a damn fool. No wonder he doesn't have relationships anymore. I don't even blame the billions, dudes just an ass hole.

So random and egregiously unnecessary. Seemed like a normal disagreement, and she wasn't even trying to force the issue.

Edit: hope he was joking or something.

On the one hand it's upsetting that such a successful guy with a massive audience of children who love his game is such an utter asshole.

On the other hand I've been saying Notch is a shitlord for years and it's selfishly satisfying to watch the rest of the world come around to that reality when people used to defend all his bullshit because Minecraft.

but to answer the question, Notch made Minecraft, Minecraft literally become a phenomenon and instant classic, especially with kids.

Microsoft bought out the IP and company, Notch got rich

Yeah, he escalated shit pretty quick out of nowhere. He's always been steadfast in his views in a way that comes off as completely childish and off-putting. Completely arrogant and throws his opinion around as if they're worth as much as he made.

Notch has a weird quality where I usually agree with the point he's making but he makes it in the most arrogant and assholish way possible. It really does seem like a DM for someone who was calmly disagreeing with you would be a better cause of action then publicly threatening to black mail them.
