'But why should we hate Notch?' everyone says.

'He created Minecraft! Give him some respect!' everyone says.

I hate him because he's an uptight bastard who can't keep his thoughts to himself. It's a bad image on the company to spill his guts on his blog about every single one of his petty problems. He's turned every little drama into a fanbase fuelled shitstorm simply because he can't fight his own battles like a mature adult. The 'Scrolls' lawsuit, anyone? The problems he had with the Yogscast at Minecon, anyone? He consistently needs the fanbase to back him up, and that's pathetic.

Not to mention that his whole career has been a cash grab for himself. An alpha, a beta, and now the 'finished' version, all of which you had to pay for. That rarely happens. Now that he's done everything he's had to, he's now bailing on the development, and putting the guy with an obvious superior knowledge of coding in his place. Oh, and he's also going to keep getting the profit from a game which he is, I may remind you, miles away from finishing. The End is pathetic. It's something he rushed at the last minute to get the game over and done with.

His terrible programming put's the icing on the cake. Or maybe his lack of effort over the past few years. In the initial stages of the game, new features were popping up everywhere. Between the alpha and the beta however, when the game was selling like hotcakes, things just 'happened' to slow down, with more novelty updates with a larger gap in between. A post from a Minecraft player on another forum wraps it up nicely:

: I bought the game while it was an alpha, and the advertisement for the game DID in a extremely clear manner state that by buying the game you are "funding its further development" and will be entitled to the "full finished version" in the future.

It's been quite a while since the alpha. And we've seen much fewer updates, and a shaky development. Broken new features, lost multiplayer support, terrible optimisation, all of which are just a few of the setbacks we've been forced to endure due to this game's so-called development.

And this has all been done under the wing of none other than Notch. So let's see where Jeb's leadership takes the game next.
