Good thing this is made by people who have already proved what they were worth. I love Notch but he never seemed like a "worker" type. He was just having fun until it was no longer fun.
Well this is just the image I have of Notch. He was just goofing around with mini-games. One became ultra famous. Lots of people got involved and it exploded from there, not really in his control.
Doesn't mean the game is not great, doesn't mean he's not skilled. Maybe I'm just sour about all his talk on 0x1c before giving up.
