Hello Microsoft,
 
I am writing this open letter to you in response to your purchase of Mojang, and am speaking as one of the many people who make their full time living in the Minecraft world who are not employees of Mojang. I am a content creator. I use Minecraft as a medium for entertainment on my live broadcasts on Twitch.tv and the money I earn while doing that pays my bills and puts food on my table.
 
I have every confidence that the employees of Mojang will be well taken care of, the purchase price alone is evidence of that. I am also confident that with Microsoft at the helm Minecraft will do amazing things on mobile platforms and the future of Minecraft as a franchise looks bright.
 
There are some things left uncertain however and I would like to encourage you to create a way for us as a community to work together with you going forward to ensure a smooth transition and to make sure problems get addressed.

Afternoon everyone.

 

I guess by now you’re done throwing up from shock and are starting to uninstall Minecraft from your computer…

 

I’d like to stop you and have you think for a minute, yes, Microsoft make mistakes, but instead of abandoning all hope, how about we all continue to contribute to the game in such a valuable way it’d be commercial suicide to change things to stop us?

I’m leaving Mojang | notch.net.  (http://notch.net/2014/09/im-leaving-mojang/)

 

Above is notch’s blog post about leaving.

 

I feel for him, I started CreeperHost as a hobby, it exploded, not to the extent Minecraft and Mojang did, but even I feel the same pressures, just smaller versions.

I don’t see myself as a real game developer. I make games because it’s fun, and because I love games and I love to program, but I don’t make games with the intention of them becoming huge hits, and I don’t try to change the world. Minecraft certainly became a huge hit, and people are telling me it’s changed games. I never meant for it to do either. It’s certainly flattering, and to gradually get thrust into some kind of public spotlight is interesting.

A relatively long time ago, I decided to step down from Minecraft development. Jens was the perfect person to take over leading it, and I wanted to try to do new things. At first, I failed by trying to make something big again, but since I decided to just stick to small prototypes and interesting challenges, I’ve had so much fun with work. I wasn’t exactly sure how I fit into Mojang where people did actual work, but since people said I was important for the culture, I stayed.

I was at home with a bad cold a couple of weeks ago when the internet exploded with

My stance on the MS thing: if (true) { System.exit(255); }

Take care everybody. rm -rf .minecraft
MS free for 20 years. Not starting now!

I am stopping not because MS might or might not kill modding. I believe that is already decided. I am stopping for personal reasons.
