Variety: 'Minecraft’ Creator Excluded From Anniversary Due to ‘Comments and Opinions’

I thought anniversary was new re-release or something like that excluded him
you should really make a habit of reading ops, it would make your life a lot easier
Fair play.
I was kinda hoping for it to be an actual thing and we could erase his name from creator status, to be frank.
Did you even read the link?
What do you think the word anniversary means?
It's a joke, but that miku_ebooks account is saying that Hatsune Miku created Minecraft and people latched on to that in the same way people now claim that Minecraft came from space.
If I was to guess they are guarding against being sued which would ultimately just keep him in the spotlight even if he lost.
And he sold it to Microsoft so they can do what they want
He wasn't like this before the purchase. Dude def changed or revealed his true self after he became a billionaire. He was like the darling of the indie game dev world because of his rags to riches story.
I'm sure money and influence didn't help, but I'd imagine given his general feelings about white supremecy and trans people I feel like it's more likely he's always been a garbage person, he just likely used to hide it more.
User Banned (Permanent): Inflammatory false equivalences, previous severe infractions
Remember when everyone banded together and went mental because they removed Hideos name from MGS5, now while Hideo is a legend and notch is.. notch.. this is no different, it's the creators name that's been scrubbed.
Look I'm not here to argue politics I'm just here to say.. it kinda works both ways irrelevant if you like the artist or not.
I only became aware of him being awful after the sale.
He's still in the credits. No one is pretending he didn't make it.
Great move from Microsoft actually taking a stance and it shows they're one of the most progressive of the big tech giants out there, focusing on diversity, equal opportunities and talented people no matter where they come from.
That said, Notch has become such a vile person that's it's pretty hard to not be appalled by his comments.

I think it started when the GG stuff was happening and he tweeted about it. It's been a while so I don't recall specific tweets.
He's had no involvement in it for years and sold it off. He's not owed anything except a mention in the credits

Doesn't think white privilege is real, thinks believing it makes you racist, thinks privilege is something people invented to repress white people.
It's pretty textbook racist white dude on the internet stuff.
By the sounds of it, becoming wealthy has made him way more lonely than he used to be. He's not really accepted in rich circles and isn't an average person anymore to where he can just live a normal life. Not having to work anymore just made it worse since he has nothing to do but indulge in them and the internet all day. He probably always had some problematic views, but now he has nothing better to do but spew them on Twitter.
It's like the epitome of "money can't buy happiness" I think of.
Has there ever been a case like this before where a work has been completely detached from it's creator?
I often wonder if there's a link between Notch being a raging idiot racist and the early support Minecraft got from 4chan. I clearly remember him visiting there often during alpha, posting up new builds and asking for feedback.
Don't forget his candy dispensers!
My question is: Did he show any signs of being batshit crazy before selling Mojang and Minecraft?
blessed tweet.
I bought the game in 2009. Good on MS for this move, it's the right move.
He created it, sold up, and now he can fuck off.
If he was that precious about his creation he wouldn't have taken Microsoft's billions.
He did, and his name's still credited as creator. MS don't want anything to do with him going forward and Notch sold his right to be involved too.
Not sure what point you're making.
His name is still in the credits and he sold the game and made money off of it. No ones denying he creating the game. He created it, but he's not part of it anymore.
Good on Microsoft for not tolerating his stupid comments.
Sorry but no.
The framing is clearly pandering to the "overly PC culture" mindset.
They should say he's being banned because he's a bigot.
White washing of racism by the media is a frequent thing since the days of jim crow and even reconstruction. It's complicit in the sustenance of white supremacy
