Well, making 3.8 mil he didn't really need the job, I guess he must be super happy with his work.

I think it's fucking awesome that he's put out a totally unique game without compromise (I mean... seriously, you have to go trawl youtube to even know what the hell to do) and still become filthy rich.

He did not decline any offers. He was never offered anything.

I recall some murmurs about getting MC on steam at some point. Maybe when his independent sales dry out a bit and he needs a bigger market. Getting on steam is itself a pretty big advertisement.

The whole thing reminds me of the Tribes 2 building mod I used to play years back. Nothing I've experienced since has captured that same great feeling you'd get from jumping on a random server and building things with other people in a persistent (as long as the server was up) environment. As is the case with Minecraft, there was virtually no structured gameplay, it was all about the enjoyment of building. Players could even create teleporters and colour coded force fields to keep other players from entering their creations but generally every enjoyed visiting other people's structures and watching each other build.

Remembering how much time I sunk into that small mod makes me realise how something like this can become so popular.

Haha, oh yeah — Construction Mod. I used to play that so much, it was great.
