Inside the life of Minecraft creator Markus Persson after the $2.5B sale to Microsoft

Sundays are for exploring the world via … Tweets: Markus Persson / @notch : There are good journalists out there, presumably. But a lot of them don't give a flying duck about the truth, they just wanna sell copies. Markus Persson / @notch : Also, and this sounds like bragging, but I'd have to party REALLY DUCKING HARD to keep up with the interest, so it's not a viable option. Markus Persson / @notch : Swedish newspapers copy and paste from the Forbes thing, with the headline “I'm dedicated to partying my money away”. Oh lordy. Patrick Klepek / @patrickklepek : This Forbes profile of Notch is both fascinating and oddly condescending. http://www.forbes.com/... via @Instapaper Chris Dixon / @cdixon : “The word ‘Minecraft’ is Googled more often than the Bible, Harry Potter and Justin Bieber.” http://www.forbes.com/... Will Porter / @batsphinx : Sounds a lot like Notch is living a life much akin to Tom Hanks in Big http://www.forbes.com/... Thanks: @thealexknapp
