XxEvil AshxX Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I'm sure he's crying into his billion dollars. Edit: TWO billion dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

number305 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 His name was taken off some loading screens. Still appears in the credits. Nothing to see here... move along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It IS a change, and it’s worth pointing out considering what this guy is all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Made by Notch" and "The Work of Notch" are just two out of those 400. It makes sense that they would get rotated out eventually, Notch even made a joke about this when he stepped down and created "Made by Jeb!" the new lead developer of Minecraft. He is still credited in the games credits, its not like he got axed entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And again, not unreasonable to have a story about its removal, especially (again) considering this guy’s views. I’m not sure what legal precedent exists for video game credits, but I would imagine that is a fight they don’t wanna have if hey don’t have to. But he’s not able to do anything about the menu screen messages, so why not get him out of there. This is also not something likely done with a beloved, non-racist creator, even if he had given up the franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised Microsoft left his name on the title screen for so long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stepped down in 2011 and the buyout was in 2014, his views were very apparent soon after he left Mojang. I find it unlikely this was a deliberate move to get them taken out. Microsoft would have forced their hand earlier if this was the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxEvil AshxX Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 In all honesty, if you gave me two billion bucks for my game, you could change my name in the credits/wherever to Tiny McDickless for all I care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Last week or so Notch got into a transphobic twitter fight which is now deleted, this week MS removed his name from the splash (they probably can’t from the credits). That’s the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think it was just happenstance, I think it was very much intentional based on his horrible behavior. I guess that's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
