Notch taking 2 billion dollars was a super dumb idea with this information out. Wtf this is madness

Minecraft with it's reach should be around $5 billion or more but I think notch just don't care anymore, got tired or don't have anymore ideas so he just sold the moment he was offered $$$.

Like most acquisitions this big, the seller would ask to be part of the company with a bullshit position paid by the buyer but he somehow didn't ask that which says a lot.

Having a company worth billions is a very different thing than actually 2 billion on hand. He could have stayed and done everything exactly the same as Microsoft has done and he wouldn't have as much money as he does now.

you'll die before you can make that much money

user will spend his life savings on microtransactions.

>cars, homes, gifts, and comfortable lives
That's not thinking like a billionaire.

>politicians, city states, logistical and intelligence networks
There we go, and 1 billion isn't enough.

Pretty sure he got partially paid in microsoft shares which means he is crying all the way to bank.

Yeah because he really needed more money 2 billion just wasn't enough

Notch is literally going to die from obesity or diabetes or something and leave like 1.8 billion dollars to no one. I guess the state will just claim it.

What could you buy with two billion dollars, user?

Ignoring the fact that Notch probably isn't an impulsive manchild like yourself, I doubt he, or you, could burn 1 billion in a week, let alone two.

Yeah, it hardly buys an NBA team anymore

Imagine being this much of a disgusting fucking Jew. Americans are beastly subhumans.

2 billion is enough money to spend 50 million dollars every year for 40 years, assuming that money is just in a void and doesn't accrue interest or is invested at all in any way.

who cares, there's no difference between 2 billion dollars and 5 billion dollars if you aren't a greedy asshole. They're both a ton of money

Do you know how much it costs to hire and maintain a private army, fund an independent space program, build orbital factories for giant mecha, or finance RnD to cure cancer and/or resurrect your dead wife?
5 billion is barely sufficient. Fuck off.

if notch wasn't such a pussy he could pay a team of top-end escorts to drain his balls 24/7 in shifts.

A billion is a MILLION MILLION
And he has twice that
You're set for your entire life and your kid's lives with that sort of cash.

Can you spot me 2 billion bro?

Based retard

> (You)

Microsoft profited $500million on minecraft since they acquired it and they are just recently trying to find ways for it to be more profitable. Notch sold low.

No a billion is just, bi-millon, aka 2 million.

Why would you bother with that though. All you are gonna end up with is to be implicated in pizzagate shit and selling your soul to literal demons.

That's company wide profit for the product, if you think mojang employees are seeing more than like 5 figure bonuses for it's high performance, you are sorely mistaken. notch probably wouldn't have gotten anywhere near billions of dollars if he stuck on board. And in the wake of cancel culture he probably would have gotten removed from the team and left without anything at all. He made the right decision.

Based

ok retard, which private individual is doing that?

It's not nearly enough to spend one's entire life from their 30s into their 80s, 90s, or even 100s, living the truly extravagant life of travelling the globe on private jets and private super yachts as the top hundred multi billionaires do.
The guy would have had much, much more if he had just held on and went all into marketing it to kids, maybe striking toy licensing deals on his own.

He was done with it.
No, I'm serious. It wasn't just an issue of money. He knew the game's momentum was far from done, he just knew HIS momentum with the game was done.

FUCK OFF YOU TOOL!

If I had two billion dollars and immortality, and chose to continue to live my life the way I have been at my current income, the money would last me 57,142 years.

2 billion isn't enough to sustain the lifestyle Jeff Bezos and Zuckerberg enjoys. The kind of money lets you have anyone killed at some point in time, and all the Asian and African babies you can rape and eat.

Do you really believe our current institutions are just laws of reality that have always existed, or are you at least somewhat aware that people started and run them?

>That's company wide profit for the product,
What's the difference. it's still profit for Microsoft.
> if you think mojang employees are seeing more than like 5 figure bonuses for it's high performance,
who gives a fuck we are talking about notch here.
>he probably would have gotten removed from the team
He literally owns it. How the fuck can he get removed. Mojang was a private company and he was only talkative maybe 1-2 years ago. He should have stayed and talked shit.

Or he would have gotten cucked out of making any money when they ousted him from the company for wrongthink. And notch hasn't exactly been living the extravagant life. He got a mansion and as far as I've heard that's really the only wild purcahse he's made. I doubt that's anywhere near draining his reserves to a point he won't be able to sustain it throughout his life.

And to put it in perspective, he could easily live a life well above most people for under a million dollars a year.

The point is who gives a fuck. Notch has no interest in being some kind of shadowy government manipulator, he just wants to sit in his big house playing video games and eating candy. He literally cannot spend all his money before he dies no matter how lavishly he tries to burn money

>and all the Asian and African babies you can rape and eat.
Honestly you could probably go to some shithole part of asia and buy a kid for like 100 USD, it's sneaking them back into the US that's the problem.

>It's not nearly enough to spend one's entire life from their 30s into their 80s, 90s, or even 100s,
Dude are you fucking retarded? It's WAY WAY more than enough for that kind of lifestyle. Christ he could live that life just off of the interest on his pile of money alone

We're talking hypotheticals, and being an introvert recluse is both a blessing and a curse.
Hire private security and then tell all the thots and leaches to kill themselves immediately when they pester you for cash, or arrange for it to actually happen after getting out of the country with your post-tax savings you've legally reported to the Jew

So you mean it's okay for you to get fucked over just because you THINK you it's good enough? Notch is a greedy jew then. He should have sold for $100 million.

magnificent bait, friend

meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

>Notch sold low.
Have you considered the personal cost of maintaining such a cancerous userbase and promoting something you really don't care about?
Keep in mind that Minecraft was on its way out when he sold, and Microsoft has been nurturing it a way that only such a massive company could - on all the platforms it owns.

Notch sold the property because it was starting to rot.
Whether or not it revived or gained value after the fact means nothing because he couldn't have done it himself.

It's enough for some measure of time in the present, but I'm talking funding ones self at that level their entire lifespan in the face of something catastrophic.

These are assumptions, and people usually burn out shortly after that windfall. Again it's total speculation.

Why sell for less than the opening offer? To be charitable to a billion dollar corporation? He got an insanely good price and took it without hesitation. You would do the same and if you say otherwise you're a lying fuck.

>A billion is a MILLION MILLION
Go back to elementary school

The point of it makes literally no difference. 2 billion or 200 billion the difference is purely academic because you can't spend either amount of money before you die anyway. Literally the only way you could even come close would be the supervillain shit posted itt trying to manipulate governments but notch doesn't give a fuck for one and isn't smart enough for that anyway

There's a reason why do many rich fucks start throwing tons of money at charity like Carnegie, bill Gates etc because it's literally more money than you could ever use

'twas merely pretending

Notch took the payout so he could bash fags and trannies all day and not have to give a fuck about getting #cancelled

That's 2,000 million dollars you fool. Epstein had only $500m roughly.

>Something catastrophic
Like what? A fucking zombie apocalypse? Aliens invading? If you're going to invoke dumb bullshit like that there's no point in even arguing.

The guy operated a couple failed businesses in a couple scams, had a private jet, "donated" to academia, and fucked some tweens and teens on his private island. He was comfy, stable, and not balls to the wall with his finances.

Yeah so just think what "Notch" could do.

This.
They've done a shit job from a creative standpoint, but have continued to support Minecraft while further developing the total rewrite that is the bedrock version.

>they are just recently trying to find ways for it to be more profitable
You forgot to read this part. Microsoft literally got $500 million by just buying minecraft.

You don't get it. It does not matter if you think it's a good deal FOR YOU. 2 billion was not how much minecraft was worth. It's worth more which is why I said Notch sold low.

>There's a reason why do many rich fucks start throwing tons of money at charity like Carnegie, bill Gates etc because it's literally more money than you could ever use
Quiet funny. Bill Gates donation even with that many zeroes is literally chump change for him. You do know he has already recouped most of the donations he spent? You are also not thinking about the tax credit and tax incentive of doing it. As well as the good reputation it brings.

And one more thing his charity organization is full of his friends and relatives and/or his children. Don't make it sound like it's all self-less.

Capitalism is a mistake

I don't think you really understand how much money you're talking about. Assuming he lives to 75 and never ever makes a single dime on investments, taking the entire windfall out as cash instead and living off that, he can spend $170,000 every single fucking day and still have around 16 million dollars left after 40 straight years of intentionally extremely heavy-handed spending.

Why the fuck are you using these dark examples? It's literally enough money to live normally for the rest of your life, not be fucking jefrey epstein

Not worry about my lifestyle and fund research into a system for the total automation of production and supply chains, from raw materials to finished goods

It was a fair deal. The game was out for years at the time of sale and any mismanagement, or simply shifting trends in online gaming, could have stalled the game's continued success. Its valued was measured against the number of sales it had made up until the point of sale, and the interest at the time, which put it at around 1.2 billion in sales and an added 800 million expected based on the number of registered accounts. Microsoft were paying for the latter, so they gave him double what he'd already made, roughly, to pocket what could have been under a billion had things not panned out. This isn't a publicly-traded company with hundreds of employees and shareholders pocketing the cash either, it's one guy.

He had millions before Microsoft bought it out. Not only that, you act like he doesn't have financial advisors who make sure he invests his money with even better passive returns.

Think of $100,000,000. Multiply that by 10. Now multiply that amount by 2. That's how much money he got ON TOP of the millions of millions of dollars he already had before being bough out. Most people are lucky to retire and live the last 20 - 30 years of their lives with a million dollars from a 401k and investments.

Notch was done with it for a looooong time before Microsoft came around. Hell, I think Jeb handled nearly everything in the Beta phase.

Buy a lakeside plot near some decently sized city. Build a house with everything I need and then just replace work hours with learning instruments and other shit.

how much would it cost to bbq the children?

because you are all smoothbrains that can't even think how to spend $2 billion wastefully.
A big mansion in one of the most luxurious, exclusive places in the world all cost upwards of $50 million and renovation is actually required because most mansions that size are built with the specifications of the owner. Often you will see weird things like having pools everywhere, pool sized jacuzzis and sometimes a small zoo enclosure.
Low estimate is $100 million. Plus taxes is around 5 to 6 figures.
Maybe you need a plane because you are not a pleb. A good size plane for all your family and fuckwhores cost $50 million. Upkeep cost is 5 figures a year if not more.

Maybe you want a fuckboat to sail internationally where everything is legal. Low estimate of those costing you is $100million. Upkeep is 5 figures.

Maybe you want a rape mansion. Somewhere remote. First you need to think about where the fuck do you want it to be. America? Third world countries? Maybe around the same size as your mansion but with more security and shit. So $50 million. You also have to think about the boundary for your mansion so people couldn't hear or see what your'e doing. So a lot of land. That's worth more than your mansion so $50 million, Not even talking about the guards/staff that you will have to pay extravagant amounts of money for to keep quiet. So maybe around $150 million without upkeep or taxes.

Maybe you're a car guy. A lot of of the richest car guys have upwards of 100 cars all in factory condition. Some of those cars cost more than a million but let's say 1 cost $250k. Low estimate is $25million without even talking about the upkeep cost.

Let's say you want to live longer than most retards. A lot of the top athletes spend more than a million per year for that. So if you want to live for 50 more years, then that's $50 million.

You can also get a fuck island, get out of jail insurance and more. $2 billion can be nothing if you want it to be nothing.

I would buy some exotic but relatively modest abode somewhere very safe away from brown people as much as possible.

Possibly on a mountain somewhere or somewhere cool, preferably near bodies of water.

user there is not a single person in this thread that's going to have made even 1b before they die, and I can tell you that for a fact. That's stupid money.
There's only estimated to be about 2000 billionaires in the world.

Yeah but since Microsoft bought it I'd rather he picked the 5 billion.

I mean Elon is doing the space program thing.

You've been thinking quite a bit about how to get away with rape haven't you.

This is actually the typical things most billionaire buys.

Two chicks at the same time, man.

Not really. Just thinking of Epstein.

If I wanted to piss it all away on shit I don't want I could just burn it all and stream it on twitchbook.
It's not hard to think of ways to get rid of money, it's hard finding shit that I'd want to use it on.

I'd be a NEET for life.

This. People can't even grasp how much it is.

I don't have any big aspirations in life, the things I hate the most is doing things I don't enjoy like the laundry, cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, working. If I got filthy rich I would just eliminate all those things from my life

that's only because people with billions of dollars are desperately trying to find things to do with their obscene amount of money

in reality you don't need a super yacht, you don't need an island. Unless you're trying to be a James Bond villain. (some of these guys probably are)

Notch could probably buy a beastly gaming computer for every single person who visited Yea Forums in the last month and it wouldn't even make a dent.

I know, that's the point
Hell, I doubt many people here are even going to reach 1mil mark
2bi is A LOT of money and he already had a fair share of millions before that
Dude is fucking set, he won at life

why the fuck would you want that?

I would just do stupid experiments all day, like trying to build my own gpu from scratch or something like that.
Buy a uneccessary amount of servers and storage for no good reason, not even porn, just to have it and autistically tinker with distros on it.

Whatever stupid whim I got I would pursue like learning woodcrafting or building a pottery studio.

Maybe I'm too wholesome to become a billionaire.

I've seen a lot of these mansions on these YouTube videos where they're priced at like 50 million dollars. I don't see where the money is going to get that valuation most of the time, they just look overly-spacious and are furnished in expensive materials. If I wanted that level of privacy (or secrecy) I'd get a ranch in the middle of nowhere for a fraction of the cost and pay trucks to haul whatever I needed in and out.

Most people with that much money are still, for whatever reason, just doing whatever they did to initially earn that money and endlessly accruing it through a string of diverse investments. I don't think they're necessarily reaching to find new things to spend money on, but because of the circumstances surrounding their wealth and social standing they can't just throw caution to the wind and live on a sex yacht.

I actually just listed things most billionaires buy and Epstein.

>in reality you don't need a super yacht
I agree however just basing it off what billionaire buys for themselves.
>you don't need an island.
This I disagree. If you are a billionaire, you cannot go to a normal beach anymore. Even the most secluded private beaches is not that secluded. A lot of celebs already has them and they are much poorer than billionaires.

It is actually common for "suddenly rich" people to lose it all even if they don't think they can. My post is only for the billionaire. How about his family and relatives. That will cost a lot.

>'d get a ranch in the middle of nowhere
People will find out where your ranch is located. You need the security or to cordoned off that area. That cost a lot of money.

I would probably get the fuck out of Sweden as fast as possible before they can take at least a third of it as taxes.

Yep they buy dumb shit with their money because they have an almost endless supply. Only one that would sink deep into my pockets would be buying exotic animals for my zoo.

I guess if you get into R&D you could easily plow through 2 billion

You would live in a gated celebrity community of course.

> It is actually common for "suddenly rich" people to lose it all even if they don't think they can

This mostly applies to lottery winners who often are poor and uneducated clueless people.

Yep but we have only one example of a normal guy suddenly turning into a billionaire and that is notch. It could still happen.

The last thing I would do is marry some whore who is gonna try take half my shit

Who would find my ranch? It's just a ranch on private land, with a huge perimeter, off the beaten trail of some highway. Not like it's an eyesore like an extravagant mansion in a built-up area.

i just want to get rich without having to make my face public
living the dream is being able to live lowkey with a lot of money but being able to hang out anywhere (excluding fancy "top of society" trash because, obviously, i don't want to expose myself) instead of living an ostentatious life and need security 24/7 because everybody is after your head

I'm gonna fly my drone with explosives attached to it right up to your fucking ranch and ask for a wire transfer of 100 million or i'll blow you the fuck up

It's easy for a real estate guy to see huge land purchases even if you use shell companies.

What's to stop me doing the same thing to your mansion in beverly hills, dumbfuck? You can get a drone into a fucking airport, you think your armed security will shoot it down? You'd need an EMP field running 24/7.

What are you talking about? They let you adopt them easier than you can adopt a white kid over here.

The good thing about a ranch is that it's just a big patch of empty land that I bought inexpensively and built up with money out of my pocket. It won't strike as much of a chord as a fancy mansion with a million dollar price tag that likely has celebrities and CEOs taking guided tours of it every week.

my point is once you get to that level of wealth you have to be permanently worried about criminals coming to steal from you

I remember when Microsoft first bought Minecraft and everyone was saying how retarded Microsoft was since "the game sales peaked"
How did Microsoft know that just a single game was going to keep printing money like that?

It only takes about 3-4 minutes watching a kid play the game and you realize that it's a special sort of game

Even like 3-4 year olds can get the basics down and play it, putting it on a phone is basically printing money as you said.

I'm not arguing that you won't have to ignore security matters. I'm just saying it's inconsequential how much of a fancy home you buy if your primary concern is secrecy, and between a $50m mansion and some place in boonies the latter is the better option for that purpose. Plus, in rural areas, gun laws tend to be a lot more lax. I won't have to worry about firing off rounds in city limits or pissing off my snooty neighbors in the event that someone tries to get at me.

Nah the gated community is better for sure because you can share the security costs with your neighbors.

Ranch is decent but personally I think the island is a better idea because then you are even more remote, a ranch people can just drive up to your fucken driveway.

I really can't imagine a billionaire living in a shit shack in the middle of nowhere. It will be a house and likely with good electricity for all your vidya with a patch of green surrounding it. That's easy to spot in the air user. A lot of those remote areas are not that remote unless you are talking about africa here then who the fuck wants to live there.

Microsoft has unironically been a better Minecraft dev than Notch was.

Shit shack? Ranches can be even more extravagant than a lot of mansions. You have tons of money to work with, you can build whatever you like on there without paying out the ass to live in LA or NYC or wherever. That and the closer you are to a city, the greater the likelihood of people snooping on you given the greater profile of your home/neighborhood and the proximity to millions of people looking to extort you. Think about how much more noticeable a plane flying over your home will be when you're the only home on a 20 mile stretch of road.

People don't understand that minecraft was more or less the only thing that kept him going, it's the classic tale of the depressed billionaire. He has all the money in the world but has no friends or purpose, just a relic collecting dust, he sold out so he could be a cool millionaire that people wanted to hang out with, he used to throw parties in his mansion but now he just sits around all day, doing nothing. If he still had the game at least he would be doing something, and maybe not be so useless, instead of having nothing to do and sitting around being the king of nothing.

>A billion is a MILLION MILLIONS.

I'm guessing that alone is probably 500-800M. Maybe 1bn

I'd probably just live lavishly with the other half.

Guys, how much is a Brazilian?

try 50million max for all of those.

Didn't bongs used to have a different naming scale where a billion was a million millions and they had some other shit for a million?

If I ever get meme money literally the first thing I'm doing is buying this shithole from hiroshimoot and attempting to steer it away from an even worse trajectory than it's currently on.

I don't think you understand what 2 billion is

>hiroshimoot
If you only know what he is doing in japan, you'll probably try and find that money right now

Assuming each gets 50M because AAA(100m for 4 dot hacks)

350M? Yeah, as a billionaire I'd just fund my weeb dream games.

Isn't moot himself working for the Google Maps team in Japan nowadays?

Not sure all I remember was google giving him some unique position.

if I had 2 billion dollars I'd unironically kill myself

from twitter it looks like he is making game design technology that could be used by other people to make games

like he's setting the ground work for future games

Don't forget that since you financed them, you'd be paid based on well they did. If the games ended up good and successful, you could end up making money.

holy shit user, not even worth an ass rape, i hope you you get an aneurysm of the highest magnitude.

>2 billion dollars
>dumb
The dude will never have to work a fucking day in his life again

Yes, but that's not how much money he has. It doesn't increase in value by a thousandfold because he visits Europe.

that's good I guess, as long as he's happy doing it that's pretty good.

We all know it's you, Bill.

1 thousand is 1E3 = 1 000
1 million is 1E6 = 1 000 000
1 billion is 1E9 = 1 000 000 000
See how it's always adding three zeros?
Still a fuckton of money and if unless Notch wanted to bother managing a company, he did the right thing(thinking from his own life's point of view), even though Minecraft being bought by MS was horrible for Minecraft.

2 billion dollars and you're done man. you can live pretty frivolously and be set.

He was made an offer he couldn't refuse, threatened, not with physical harm, but just with Mojang/Minecraft getting locked out and destroyed and all his employees (and himself) left with nothing but what they'd already saved. Nobody owns '1m cube voxel world', and the free market is mostly a comforting myth, and they certainly did not actually need Mojangs or Notches specific code or expertise to reproduce their work. It's the same for almost anything anyone could ever invent.

Getting bought out for enough to ensure your grandkids liquidity, or to fund your next few venture failures as you hunt your next big success, is the absolute best any one man is allowed to hope for. Past a certain level of success with any one product/property/patent, it simply WILL be brought into the massively collective control of a multinational megacorp. The multinational megacorps won't have it any other way.

What Notch got is good enough for 425 lifetimes of making 100k$/year from 18 to 65.

some people are really unable to grasp how much money he's got all for himself right now

250 million is more than a person can reasonably spend in a life time if they aren't retarded he has roughly 1.5 billion

yeah but of course he was not going to live like that. his LA mansion alone probably costs more than per year that in taxes and upkeep, he's going to marry a supermodel who will divorce him and take a huge chunk of it all (pretty sure already done and done, unless that was Luckey). he's going to have real state of the art medicine (not the shit that someone making $100k a year gets that they mockingly call 'medicine'), he's going to get extorted by 'his' lawyers to pay off fraudulent lawsuits (because otherwise they'll take as much in their fees), he's going to buy a private plane or two and a fleet of luxury cars, he legitimately absolutely NEEDS to have 24/7 security for the rest of his life, etc., and at the end of all that he'll still have enough for his grandkids to be liquid because holy fuck is $2B ever a fuckload of money.

faggot

Are you high or are you fucking retarded

Yeah two billion hardly pays for my daily milk and cereal

Don't really understand why he sold it. He was already rich from it and then sells it for more money. In return he lost ownership of his game. If I made a game and got rich I would have no interest in selling it, it's my creation why would I give it away for money?

Because it's fucking 2 billion dollars.

nigger he sold minecraft ages ago. ever since then literally all he does is play shitty /tg/ games, shitposts on /tg/, and rants about politics on twitter. the guy is genuinely limp dick and apathetic for material goods. he just sits there and exists with a bank account of 2 billion

How? Two billion dollars will have you set for several lifetimes

Everyone had already bought the game by the time he sold it (of course, he couldn't know new kids would still be buying and playing it 10 years later). He probably thought he'd have to provide support and new features, or make a completely new game to keep earning money, and couldn't be bothered to

Probably stopped enjoying working on it

I wonder how many dollar menu burgers you could buy with a billion dollars

It's more money than the average person will make in 1000 lifetimes u fucking retarded ass

Because any amount of money is useless if you dont know how to use it, the guy is rotting in his mansion eating candy and shitposting which isn't very different from most people on this board

Not only that but the guy just throws party because he's just a depressing guy and needs to surround himself with people. I guess 2 billions dollars don't mean shit when you're constantly pessimistic

There's no cash shop or loot boxes though right? How would they still be making money from the game after initial purchase?

If you're just living a normal life you won't spent 2 billion in a lifetime.
So why the fuck would he need more?

Pretty sure minecraft sells more than the bible nowadays

If you ever fund another .hack make it so my boy Kaoru stops being a faggot

So the LGBT flag is just "gay" now? That sounds good, actually, can we separate LGB from IDDQD so I could shit on tranny faggots with minimum chance of catching others in the crossfire?

because according to Yea Forumseddit if you turn into a billionaire from night to day you MUST live like a top 1% billionaire which means you MUST spend all meaninglessly, you MUST buy shit you don't need, you CAN'T be rich and spend smart, if you don't buy a 1bi private island you're an IDIOT, you MUST spend it all as soon as possible

The fact of the matter is that Notch didn't want to work anymore. He traded in having to work for a massive payout.

Notch clearly didn't want to work on Minecraft even when the game was released. Even before it went into Beta he was very much 'over it'.

what he really wanted was to be done and have someone else working on it, but he didn't know how to run Mojang.

Fund my dream game, move out, and keep being a faggot NEET.

Yes, it's only enough for a mentally stable human to live.

Yeah you're right. It's only 999 million + another 999 million + 2 million. Not a lot of money at all.

When you're one person, what difference is another billion or two going to change, user?

Nigger I could retire on a million.

what happened to men's priorities, Yea Forums?

People really have no fucking clue how much money that is.
Besides a house and funding a game everything you stated is a few hundred thousand at most, a house adds another few houndred thousand, and a dream game probably gets into the 10s of millions at the most.
Now you've still got 1.90 billion dollars.

based retard

I think it'd be easier to say what I COULDN'T do with that much money since that's "make dreams come true" kind of cash
It just depresses the shit out of me knowing that it's out of the reach of so many good people

i never said it was a little bit and i never said i was attempting to spend it all also since when did millions of dollars stop being a large of amount of money

My bad I wasn't really trying to say that you inparticular were wrong or trying to, just that people don't really understand how much money that is most of the time.
Most people's wildest dreams could be accomplished with a million dollars, and he has that much money, two thousand times over.

Too much money is never pointless unless you genuinely like to work.

poor fucking jeb. the amount of work he must have had to do to work with notch's garbage code. i feel sorry for this cunt

He always seemed like a pretentious dick to me. I remember him making some drama post about how he was an atheist and all the "2 smart for you" 13 year olds coming out and waving their fedoras around.

There's a limit to everything. At some point any possible conventional worry ends while the general needs for happiness don't change. Who cares if you're rich when you're lonely, ect

user, not once in my life now have i worried about being lonely or anything like that, but i get what you're trying to say

Attached: 1551470204836.png (418x418, 108K)

Once you have the basic 'requirements' for 'happiness' it's pretty much irrelevent.
For most people it's the stress of trying to get ahead in life, getting house/bills paid for without worrying from week to week. While more money will always make these things easier to achieve you honestly don't need much to not have to worry about these things.
60k/year job is generally enough to get your house relatively easily and get it all sorted out within a reasonable timeframe.
200k a year is enough to basically do it every year or two. What do you even do with money at that point other than increase the speed you kill yourself? There's plenty of ways to piss money up walls but they generally don't make you happy longterm.

A few big apartments in a few capitals of your choosing around the world, couple mansions and a boat or two and they are gone. Luxury has no restraint.

If you went back in time to say, 2006-2007 or so with no knowledge on how to make a video game, would you try to make Minecraft before Notch did? The only saving grace is that you can bring the art assets with you, should you choose to use them as-is.

Providing you could pull it off in a year or two, what would you do differently with the game?
