Wow, some real schadenfreude going on there.

I really don't understand some of the bile that follows Persson around.

Are people really that fucking bitter that a guy who by his own admission is a complete klutz (programming and business-wise) can become so successful?

I think that from the programming side he is just too modest, not klutz at all. Maybe he is also good at business in some way he don't even realize.

Hmm, I didn't really see any bitterness in the article (even in the tweets they list). Are you talking about the comments?

Yeah sorry, should have made that clear.

Someone tagged the picture of the DJ with the comment "This just in : Mojang might have paid a famous DJ to help people feel more inclined to party. This is disgusting."

Apt.

And exactly why do you think that's apt?

To me, it seems like a superficial comment that misses any of what actually matters about the topic for the sake of a smug joke.

Either they're bitter or extremely gullible. Or both.
