Notch

Woah, that's a funny way to spell Hatsune Miku.

The old old reddit days where notch released it there first.

Those were the glory days.

Being first debuggers/beta testers for Minecraft and duckduckgo now seems like an eternity away.

Fun times.

Pssst, n*tch cashed out and turned into a major piece of shit. The internet tries not to talk about him.

Last I heard he lives alone in a mansion in beverly hills all sad and depressed in his piles of money that can never replicate the true feeling of human connection and friendship that he yearns for. I almost kinda feel bad for him, but then I remember hes only sad and lonely cause hes an asshole.

I feel like he wasn't the most pleasant guy to begin with but being just an indie dev kept him grounded. Winning a lottery boosted his ego and made all his bad traits show up turning him into incellionaire. If anything it's a modern cautionary tale.

Fairly sure he moved back to Stockholm and spent most of his time there shortly after.

Ah. I never followed up. I think it was first sold for like 10 bucks on reddit. Last I ever heard was when he sold it to ms and everyone on reddit cheered for him.

It all was so long ago.

Yeah not long after that he started posting a ton of anti-semitic bullshit

Honestly, that's just really questionable, trying to ignore questionable people. It is okay if you enjoy Minecraft, but just completely ignoring that a lot of it is based on the work of an awful person, is not good.
