    Minecraft was always for kids. But they’re right that kids weren’t playing it at the very beginning. The alpha was $10 and you paid Notch directly

          When he sold Minecraft to Microsoft he became a billionaire, quickly lost touch of reality, and fell down the right-wing pipeline to become a total shithead. He kept posting homophobic comments on Twitter, called for a heterosexual pride parade and suggested anyone opposed to one should be shot, and bought into the whole QAnon nonsense. There is a reason Minecraft hardly acknowledges his existence anymore, Mojang distanced themselves from him because of his behaviour.
