Isn't that a bit hypocritical?
I bought the minecraft alpha from notch at an early stage because of promises of having a modding API added to it soon.
Instead, lots of small insignificant features were added that I wanted nothing to do with. I felt they were bad for the game and only focused on short term popularity. Still, it seemed, they were beneficial for the long term growth of mojang, which was the main response to such criticism.
So now notch is offended by a company he backed partly with the money he got from people like me, whose hopes of having a fully moddable open sandbox game made them invest, changing its strategy to allow them to reach a bigger market.
I can directly relate to that, but I cannot say that I sympathize.
This is what happens, when you invest in something when it's still in an early stage of finding itself. Bad luck, move on.
