I kind of always knew that I wanted to make games I’m saying you’ll never amount to anything you’re like yeah all right Mom thanks a lot yeah I said so in school to my like career counselor thing like teachers in school would say that too and she said uh well that’s probably Not going to happen really okay not is going to officially release Minecraft He’s the creator of the game Minecraft Minecraft Minecraft the great Marcus Pearson has been an incredible thing over the last few years you must be very wealthy yeah I have far more money than I can ever spend born in Sweden 1979 Marcus person was destined to be a game developer Right from the very beginning I I kind of always knew that I wanted to make games yeah I started game developing fairly early I was uh I played a lot of games like Commodore 64 and stuff and when my dad bought us a Commodore 128 yeah the biggest change came really Early when I kind of got the freedom to do whatever I wanted like if I wanted to make a game in a certain way I could do that he did not know where his passion would eventually take him Mom saying you’ll never amount to anything you’re Like yeah all right Mom thanks a lot yeah like teachers in school would say that too really the teachers would like give you a hard time uh some would although his heart was in game design he did not study in high school instead opting for graphic design as advised by His teachers the introverted Notch would eventually drop out of school to pursue his natural talent for software development he landed a job in web development before hopping between Game Dev jobs sweet between 2004 and 2009 Marcus would work for midus player the company which would later become king at Midas He would meet his future business partner and friend Jacob to paa the duo would write their own games whilst at work I just didn’t appreciate this so I I left to make my own games and the first thing I was going to do was just Going to be like a 6 to 12 month project Notch would spend every waking moment of his free time developing games for his own company Mojang most would never see the light of day but this newest one this one was special inspired by infin miner he created a voxl based game that Procedurally generated environments 2009 Minecraft Alpha would be uploaded to uce for people to cry the people loved it so much so that Notch made it paid for the next 2 years Minecraft would have the world in its grasp selling 10 million copies before it even got out of Beta 2011 was a pretty good year for Notch he Ted the knot and had a daughter he’s a mega star he couldn’t go out in public without being noticed Notch would host Minecon launching his magnum opus into the stratosphere along with his life that rocket would soon stall and come Crashing down not’s father would pass away December that same year Notch was destroyed he feared for his own well-being admitting his own struggles with depression not long after his marriage would collapse unfortunately life goes on so he continued what his dad would have wanted him to do Minecraft it’s one of the most Popular games on record since it was released in 2009 it sold more than 120 million copies company have you sold out to the evil corporations yet no not yet and we hope not to no that’s good but how long do you think be able to do that Before you kind of get absorbed by the Borg I think that depends on how long we can kind of keep the fun mood going that we Have I wasn’t working on Minecraft anymore and I had it for a long time but I still was kind of responsible for it but people still got very upset with like me personally even though I wasn’t even working on it anymore I just figured like I don’t know if I want to Put up with this anymore maybe I don’t have to put up with this no I do not worth it anymore annoyed by the barrages of hate one night Notch would open Twitter and let his feelings known under the facade of a joke they just tweeted kind of jokingly Like who wants to buy the company Mojang has confirmed it’s being sold to Microsoft for $2.5 billion so I’m here in Stockholm really excited that we just sign to acquire Minecraft the news was confirmed on the developer official site in which it also went into some of the Reasons for the decision a large part of it centers on Founder Marcus not person growing tired of working for such a big organization one of the things that’s pretty special to me about Minecraft in moang and my relationship with Marcus and Carl and Jacob is just watching the Three of them evolve as individuals with the success that they’ve had he and two other Founders KL and Jacob are all leaving the company following the deal just like that Microsoft struck a deal to buy Notch’s shares 2.5 billion in cash Notch is now a billionaire with More money than most of us can even comprehend complete Freedom was unlocked he could do anything he wanted so what now then The King of New York and his Queen are seriously California Dreams yeah Beyonce Jay-Z and little blue ivy have been doing some Hollywood house hunting reportedly looking exclusively in LA’s Platinum triangle belir HBY Hills and Beverly Hills and they’ve already been out bid for this stately Palace Minecraft creator Marcus persons bought It for 70 million Notch sets a record for the highest real estate sale in Beverly Hills at 70 million is in the upper echelon now the High Life what better way to celebrate his riches and throwing in a giant housewarming party the partying would continue continue and Continue ping would soon get old though and not would soon realized to himself that without purpose he has nothing in I bether pying alongside the Rich and Famous he would tweet that he never felt more isolated whilst he had all these friends the relationships were more one-sided they were shallow people Knew him as the Minecraft guy that threw the giant parties not the person himself that’s the one thing money couldn’t buy Notch would go back to his roots developing little games as a hobby in pure isolation all whilst his past project Minecraft was while flourishing Notch would still interact with his fans On Twitter perhaps his only genuine interaction with those who shared the same interests isolation was not something he could cope with for long though as the straw would soon break the camel’s back 2017 Notch would log on to Twitter pent up thoughts regarding modern society and conspiracy theories In his drafts ready to Rattle him off for the public to react to people weren’t happy with his remarks bit of an understatement no one were including his farmer company and employer the situation that Microsoft is dealing with right now when it comes to one of their crown jewels Minecraft and To answer the original question apparently you do what Microsoft just did remove his name from The Game’s launch flash screen not Chad every reference to him removed from Minecraft his name no longer attached to his own creation to add insult to injury Microsoft and Mojang took the executive Decision to not invite him to the 10year anniversary party for Minecraft to be barred from celebrating the 10th birthday of your own creation must be heartbreaking but that’s what happens when actions have consequences Notch would not respond to this instead choosing to lay low and continue his life as usual to this day He still talks to fans on Twitter and seems to have become more mature wisened up he talks about games most of the time supporting up and coming games as well as the ones he’s currently playing not his story is etched in time for the 21st century how one man made the best Selling game ever to fade in into almost obscurity near enough invisible from the public eye what happed good talk good talk good talk Video Information
