It seems his problem is more that he spends his money to have a workfree life etc.

Start a new company is what I would do. Doesn't have to be a gaming company either, his 1.75 Billion should be enough to start a company within basically whatever industry he desires.

And of course I feel for him, he's fuckin depressed. Money doesn't help with that. Just because he's a billionaire doesn't mean he's not a person.

Just because someone puts themselves in a situation doesn't mean you can't feel for them. I can understand what it's like to be in a lonely situation like that I went through the same thing myself when all my drug highschool friends lost control of their habit and I went on to finish college and work in the corporate world. He'll get through it I'm sure and I wish him the best.

I do indeed feel for the guy. Money can buy a lot of stuff, but it can't buy happiness. It's why most celebritues end up taking drugs since they need to fill the void with something. Not to mention, having a ton of money usually means that you'll get very little symphaty as shown by all the answers in this thread.

His fifth tweet is like when a super hero loves a woman but this woman doesn't want to be with he superhero because of his powers/crime fighting lifestyle. Sure he has super powers ( Which a lot of us want ) and sure he can probably date a super hot model thanks to his powers, but does that really matter when you can't get the woman you love.

^ Venting your problems on the internet gets very little sympathy period. Just having access to the internet makes you a privileged cry baby :p

Loneliness is something everyone copes with at some point in their life. Losing friends happens to everyone as they get older regardless of money. People have kids, get busy, move away. Some people make new friends more easily, some don't. Make peace with yourself first, that will make everything else a lot easier.

Some good points here.

I both feel for him and think he's drowning in a cup of water.
First of all, he should seek help for his depression before it worsens, then he should start a new project, but as Minecraft growth made it uncomfortable for him , maybe he should start new projects, and if they become really big, sell them and start new ones.
If he signed some non-compete clause in gaming, until the clause expires he could start or help both developing and funding non-gaming projects.

Well I mean they say money can't buy you happiness, and I guess you could understand what he means by people not finding him normal since they're talking to a multibillionaire now. still tho, guy was always a touch weird, now he just happens to be a touch weird and worth billions.

sounds like hes just living in self regret for selling Minecraft in the first place. He shouldnt have done it really.

We hate on him not because of the money. But because of the options he has. I don't care he has 2 billion dollars to blow. You have emotinonal issues, take care of it. Have nothing to do, USE IT. Don't whine on Twitter. He has endless doors opened to him. I can name 10 things I could do with that money. Worthwhiled to myself or others. And keep myself in use.

boohoo

If he actually suffers from depression, and selling his masterpiece it worsened, he could have one opportunity for each dollar he earned, but he wouldn't see them before he gets his illness cured. Whining on Twitter, anyhow, could still be better than keeping it all for himself, but while possibly keeping away the worst and possibly fatal outcomes of depression when kept hidden and let worsen, won't really cure him, he must seek help from doctors, not from random people on the net (that could even cheat him exploiting his weakness and diverting him to quackery).
