After selling Minecraft to Microsoft for 2.5 billions, he hints on Twitter how is life after Minecraft and success:

The problem with getting everything is you run out of reasons to keep trying, and human interaction becomes impossible due to imbalance.

In sweden, I will sit around and wait for my friends with jobs and families to have time to do shit, watching my reflection in the monitor.

When we sold the company, the biggest effort went into making sure the employees got taken care of, and they all hate me now.

Found a great girl, but she's afraid of me and my life style and went with a normal person instead.

I would Musk and try to save the world, but that just exposes me to the same type of assholes that made me sell minecraft again.

People who made sudden success are telling me this is normal and will pass. That's good to know! I guess I'll take a shower then!

Do you feel for him? Or does it feel like he's drowning in a cup fo water?

I feel for him.

A cautionary tale to be sure.

"made me sell Minecraft" What the hell is that supposed to mean?

I guess money doesn't buy everything. Hopefully Notch does something to fix his depression, find new goals or something.

Money doesn't buy happiness :/

I don't feel for him.

Most people in our developed world get it easy. It's hard to feel for anyone, let alone a billionaire.

Make a goddamn game then... occupy your time and make good use of the money you just earned. FFS, its not like there is no need for an extra 2.5 billion in this world.

Yeah, I feel for him.

He should start doing something else. Make another game!

It almost seems that he signed away his ability to do work with some type of eternal or timed non-compete clause. Otherwise, why not just start another company to keep busy?
