He probably expected that sales would go down to irrelevant. That never happened, instead he got an absurd deal. MS is open sourcing to satisfy modders, eventually for more reach and cash. The intentions are very different and it would be awful to blame notch for that.

The intentions may be different, but it doesn’t mean one of them has to be bad. If MS makes money and users get to do more with the open source code, it’s a win-win.

You are 100% correct. I know that I have the troll gene (that is troll as in fishing for reactiong, not troll = evil hater) so I need to check myself regularly that my reaction to trolls isn't to try out-troll them. I fight I know I can't win but mainly I respect that it shouldn't be fought here.
