You know Notch, you didn't need to leave your career. You could've sold MC and continued to work at Mojang, or used that money to start a new dev.
And people on N4G reckons he should pay off his family and friends lifestyle so they have free time. But not everyone works for money or financial ease, people work because it is something to do. If you aint working, that's 40 hours a week you're just wasting away.
He shouldn't have ever sold MC, at least to a big corporation. Minecraft and mojang prized themselves on being indie, and now they're just another studio, who make nothing but minecraft. Yeah Notch, can't feel sorry for you. Your life you ruined for money.
