Minecraft worth 2.5B



What? I don't get your point at all.

I was just noting that he seems a bit irrational.

And additionally, like the flappy bird guy, overly concerned with what people think of him and seems to be unable to deal with it.

How about an experiment. Post to some major news site about how you run campaigns for whatever bullshit it is that youre selling. Explain that the whole thing is a scam (BUT THE TOS OMG), then deal with the heaps of bullshit flying your way. Just dont buy that whois privacy. See how it goes. And you at least expect it to go very shitty because you know what youre doing is kind of legal fraud.

Then come back and reflect on how a guy must feel who just wanted to make a cool game and then gets death threats over features not being implemented.


Pathetic.
 
You underestimate the Socialist wasteland known as Sweden. It'll be taxed twice (first corporate tax and then capital gains tax). Also, dividends are limited for privately traded companies (limits in comparison to how much salaries are paid).

Then you are taxed again as personal/family gains when money hits your bank account..

I don't care about what other people think of what I do.

My issue with this guy is that he has publicly attacked people in the past for "selling out" (see the Oculus Rift drama). Then he goes and does the same exact thing and tries to say it's all different.

For the record, I think it's great if somebody wants to sell their company and is able to do so. And his game is awesome, I bought it a while ago and still play it. And generally I don't care what people do or think, but his recent blog post had me rolling my eyes.

My oldest is seriously into this game. He's like top-ten PVPer on the top five hosts. Anyway, he told me about the Oculus Rift drama... and it turns-out that the Oculus Rift version is back-on once Mojang began serious talks with MSFT.

:hypocrite:
