The smaller dudes don't have the same accountability. If a small developer takes a huge shit on Twitter, he really doesn't lose much. Most of them were struggling before they made their games and most of them will be struggling after regardless. Situations like Notch are rare. And to be honest, if Notch takes a huge shit on Twitter, what of it? He's already incredibly rich, so it isn't going to hurt him unless he pisses all of his millions/billions away somehow.
If a developer for a big publisher shoots his mouth off, chances are he's going to be sacked, lose a comfortable regular paycheck and bennies, and he's potentially blacklisted. Unless he's entrepreneur enough to start his own business and can get around the bad PR, he's finished.
