Reading Notch's reasons I must agree with him: not everybody has as his highest aspiration becoming the CEO of an important company, doing a job that grants a wealthy life while doing what one loves is luckily more desirable for most people.
Now, though, I have another doubt: who'll pay $2.5B for Notch's next SW house when it too will become too big? MS again? I can see a vicious circle starting...  |
I'm pretty sure Markus would be perfectly happy to go and dissappear forever with his cut of this deal, he has just made his whole family line never have financial worries from now until.... about what? 3000AD+? I'd say this is job well done for him.

I think just 2500AD, don't forget that he lives in a northern country, he'll have to pay taxes for ~50% of what he won't reinvest.
Anyhow I was trying to imagine his lulz if each time his new company becomes big, MS offers him $2.5B
Yes, he could disappear, but he loves his job, as long as it doesn't start putting him under excessicve pressure.
