Morons can do great things. But hearing him speak his mind and truthful is nauseating. His response says he was looking for any way out of having more work to do. He has made his money and doesn't give two shits about supporting what he created more than the absolute bare minimum. He is the one who says Steam is evil because it's DRM and has his fucking game on Xbox Live and PSN. Total hypocrite and an absolute fucking moron.

Who said that?...
Why would a minecraft on VR matter its merely a niche device anyway and going by the demographic that plays minecraft I don't think they would all be out in droves spending $300+ on a peripheral. Whatever version of minecraft was intended for oculus I'm sure it would have been released on other platforms anyway.

Read the chain of posts you quoted. I guess it was moron rather than idiot but point still stands.

And nothing of value was lost. You can play Minecraft on Oculus already, no sense in notch making a version specifically tailored toward VR if it would be stripped down and free, like he said it would be in his blog post.

The promise of the future is what makes it a really large title. A HUGE amount of people play Minecraft. That's market expansion.
There is a huge issue with my argument, though: console compatibility.
If the OR can be used on a console, we're looking at a prime game to use to demonstrate the possibilities. If it cannot be used on a console, then ignore my post and call me a bum. lol

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
Every member here on GAF knows its a social platform and how that sort of thing ruins hard-core experiences. Social + Online + Large Corporation + Advertising: Facebook represents everything we don't want in gaming.
No more childish than his ignorant ideals and complete hypocrisy he constantly shows. At least those that criticize him have big fucking reasons to. He is constantly changing his stance and opening his mind to one evil while shutting another out.
In short. He's a fucking moron and people with some coherence can see that.

It requires you talking to and interacting with humans you've met in real life, which historically people on internet forums don't really gel with
Pot calling the kettle.
He listed why he is canceling the project in his blog post and it seems very reasonable.
Unlike the brainless hate train some people are on.
At least I'm consistent.
It may seem reasonable to you for a man to be a hypocrite but I and many others are able to see through BS excuses and label a man what he truly is.
Looking at facts, you would be the one on a blind train.
Well, you're half right.
I'd like a world which goes higher than 256 bloc.
At least I'm consistent.

Keep on telling yourself that.
Notch made it clear in his blog post that he does not support this move due to how he thinks facebook only cares about the number of facebook users and fears in regards to what they will do to Oculus to push that agenda.
Nothing there makes him a hypocrite!
With his history of hypocritical statements I don't know when to take him at his word. He railed against MS for the Windows 8 store yet is cozy with them in one of the most walled off gardens in existence. He bashes Steam for being DRM yet his game is on IOS and Live.
Here he says he doesn't like this move because Facebook creeps him out. It's laughable and the reasoning he goes further into is even moreso. He was fired up and ready to get into OR development but after the Facebook purchase he goes off on a rant about how he hates something else without knowing the possibilities or repercussions that lie within. Just blind hate towards something he happens to not like.
Looking at this, he was trying to get out of doing anything VR related because he thought it didn't fit the platform due to it being java and GUI heavy. That is simply a petty excuse for saying, "I don't feel like doing this as it requires a lot of work". This was his golden ticket out. I'm glad he got to do it in a way that further portrays him as a one hit wonder and endless hypocrisy and a large following of people that will take whatever he says as ultimate truth without being able to connect the dots in their heads that he is full of shit. Ignorance is bliss.
None of that makes him a hypocrite!
The Windows 8 store is not like any other store, it is a store with it's own, new APIs built into a system that has always been open!
iOS and the Xbox have never been open platforms on the other hand and thus there is not the threat of them eating out the platform from the inside!
This quote from engadget also proves that fears about facebook buying them are not even close to "blind"!

Sorry for this off-topic post, but I had to share my feelings.
After reading this post, I found that Notch is worth $150M from Minecraft. That is four times as much as Kim Kardashian. All is right in the world.

$150 million is a lot more than a lot of celebrities, believe it or not.
3DS would likely have a hard time having a worthwhile port of minecraft due to it's lack of power and the WiiU, well you do not have to have a PHD to figure why it is not coming out for it.
