Minecraft

I doubt they would care enough to invest into something so far out of there "realm".

Granted.

I'd expect most CEO's to be similar to this,

I'm talking about the people who would be on the 'board' members of the oil company. And then there's a few other discrepancies about the oil industry that makes it different from other industries but I digress.

the only people you'd see investing in Minecraft are people with inherited wealth and/or someone who won a lotto.

Yeah, because they'd be investing by buying the game. You invest in the company, not the game. :P. And inherited wealth? Are you saying that only people who are more likely to be irresponsible with their money are going to invest in Mojang? Which is ridiculous.

Note that not all countries tax lotto winnings either,

1. I figured it was the same, because here in USA and depending on the state, the end taxes on the lotto wind up being about ~50% of the winnings, so if you win the 20 mil lotto you only have 10 mil. 2. Lotto was pretty unrelated.

Me too. Too bad it isn't better.

Then make your own. Oh wait sorry you were too busy failing to make that HEK All in One idiotic mod tool with those ridiculous claims your team claims to be able to pull off.

Its possible to have too much of a good thing Dwood. Like heroin

My goodness, I might have to switch my opinion about you.

From village idiot to complete and utter neanderthal.

How would you improve Minecraft, Dwood. With an audcaious claim of it should be better, you must have some great ideas.

dwood, jesus christ, maybe he did make some bad corporate moves in your opinion, but please tell me how that makes the game itself worse? at this point it sounds like youre just upset at what notch did at a corporate level and youre taking it out on the game to defame notch even more.

please, do explain to us what the problems with THE GAME ITSELF are, and how you would have made it differently.


and as far as investment is concerned, who is he going to go to for investment? as far as i know, no big company is going to invest in a virtually unknown gaming company unless that big company is itself a game company. we have seen it with virtually every first person shooter out there today: when a big company has money in a game design, they impose their will to get the game to sell as well as possible. notch doesnt want that. it goes against what he believes in as a developer. he wants minecraft to be indie. the man has millions of dollars and, like one of you said, very few expenses. why the fuck would he abandon his beliefs of being indie WHEN IT HAS MADE HIM THIS KIND OF MONEY?

[ThePlague]

Hey guys.

It's Notch's game, we're players.

[Donut]

that doesnt mean we arnt allowed to express our beliefs on the game or the developers
