Minecraft creator Marcus "Notch" Persson, who sold the title to Microsoft or $2.5 billion in 2014, won't be part of 10-year anniversary plans for the game because of his "comments and opinions," Microsoft tells Variety.
"His comments and opinions do not reflect those of Microsoft or Mojang and are not representative of 'Minecraft," a Microsoft spokesperson told Variety.
Persson, once an involved member of the video game development community, has increasingly ostracized himself with his Twitter comments, including transphobic statements and comments about a "heterosexual pride day," and that "it's ok to be white." Persson has about 3.7 million followers on Twitter.
