Rare, a company that developed a whole catalog of killer-apps, was bought for $375 million in 2002. Microsoft screwed themselves so bad it is, in fact, still funny.

Yes. Bill Gates told me so a while ago on the phone. Just so you know, just like Robio has this weird mancrush going on with Shiggy, I am Gates' bro.

I think that Minecraft has been going on long enough for it to be called a phenomenon instead of a one hit wonder.

Yeah. It's not a simple puzzle game, it's a lifestyle choice for most of Earth's denizens under the age of 11.

Notch should sell to Marlborough, they'd gobble it up.

Notch was not seeking celebrity and I think the presures of it would come as a surpirse to many.

This was a good way to exit stage left, hopefully he'll get his life back, with the money he can create his own witness protection program.
