My understanding is that Minecraft exists because Zach refused to takes Notch's suggestions on how to improve it.

So Notch wrote Minecraft, a better version, and sold it. And it worked out really well.

Infiniminer might have sold, but it wouldn't have sold as well as Minecraft.

And Minecraft then brought traffic to Zach (via people wanting to learn about Infiniminer) to drive sales on his other games, which seems to have worked out well in the end.

Still bothers me that with Notch we now have one more right wing white supremacist billionaire, while Zach seems to be a really nice guy that would probably have used that money for some common good like education :/

maybe if zach had become a billionaire he would have ended up a crazed alcoholic too? I don't know. (note, I don't actually KNOW that notch is an alcoholic his tweets just resemble mine when I've had too much to drink, times ten)

Notch is litteraly throwing around the n-word and other really awful shit, what point are you even trying to make?

Throwing around the n-word makes him a bigot, not right-wing.

He's also embraced some of the deepest of right-wing craziness, Q, and was often parroting right-wing talking points with bonus homo- and trans-phobic tweets salted around.
