The more I hear from Notch the more I dislike him. He needs to get off his high horse. IMO, he just got lucky with Minecraft. He needs to come out with another successful game for his opinions to even matter. It makes me mad that people even care to write articles on what he thinks. He does not deserve the attention.

But seriously, what is he so mad about? What's wrong with EA releasing an Indie game bundle? How does that ruin gaming? Indie developers want to make money too. Isn't it a good thing if a publisher decides to help distribute an independently developed game?

The problem with him is that he thinks so highly of himself and his own opinions. Ultimately, the consumers shape an industry. EA is just giving consumers what they want. Notch probably thinks mainstream games don't properly reflect what gaming is about, and so big companies like EA are ruining the industry with these games. But that's just his opinion. He needs to accept the opinion of others. I personally prefer mainstream games. I've tried many highly acclaimed indie games and I get bored fast.

Ah so you've also played Braid.
