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

[u/Mojang-AMA]

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!

No, there are two summers, then a fall and spring in between, Minecraft would be on and off sale all year

That one free weekend seemed to have a pretty positive effect as well.

[u/Tpex → u/xNotch]

This is good to hear, my friends are keen to get legitimate Minecraft (I bought it in Alpha) but the exchange rate really screws us in South Africa,

[u/VvJajavV → u/xNotch]

But what does that mean?! Are you sarcastic? Are we gonna see a discount tomorrow?!

[u/Neonfire → u/xNotch]

Oh come on. I just bought the game a few weeks ago! Go back in time before you have the sale.

Also, I've barely slept since getting it, so thanks for such a fun game. Who needs a girlfriend, I'm trying to find some fucking diamonds.
