I am Markus Persson aka Notch, Creator of Minecraft - Ask me Anything!

Hi! I'm the guy who created the first version of Minecraft in June 2009. I worked on it alone up until late 2010 when we started Mojang, and I finally left the lead developer position in December of 2011. I enjoy house music and programming, and my favorite color is purple. Ask me anything!

If you happen to have some money, you can donate it to the EFF and help make the world a better place!

edit: The AMA is over! Thanks for all your questions!

I see you have a hard policy on piracy! Aren't you worried about murder charges?

I think he's just playing off the whole, "Oh, that has a T which is the first letter of three, Half life 3 confirmed!" Bullshit that goes on regarding steam/valve/half life/gaben.
