    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.
