What's so fucking heartwarming about this? Just because it's internet superstar sensation Notch?

 

[TransTrender]

Ace response would be to accept the games then donate MSRP to your favorite charity, maybe Childs Play.

 

[Carcetti]

A millionaire decides he'll spend a hundred euro on some video games. A truly heartwarming story.

This is a story? Rich guy decides to pay for his own shit? So sweet.

 

[pelican]

Notch is such a generous guy and down to earth guy. Buying his own games. Such a heart warming story. /sarcasm.

 

[Ingueferroque]

As some have already pointed out it looks like he was offering to get him an Xbox One since it's not out in Sweden yet.

I'm sure Notch just has to stare at one of his handlers and a One will be bestowed upon him within the day.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Why would you offer free games to a millionaire anyway?

And I don't see what's "heartwarming" in this, sorry.

Same, he can buy with them with the change from his lunch.

 

[Inversive]

fuck notch

 

[Grinchy]

I thought I was a cynical bastard until I read the posts in this thread.

that's how it works for some reason. the richer/celebrity status you have, you get free stuff.

"omg its tom cruise, give him a free cake" or whatever.

 

[Yagharek]

Wow, he's like Mother Teresa.

Dont compare notch to that horrible woman.

People see Tom Cruise eating X brand's cake, they buy X brand's cake.

People see/hear/read about Notch playing X Sony game, they buy and play X Sony game.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Never turn down free games


never turn down free dinner

Right? I've worked on games I've had to pay for.

 

[CambriaRising]

I wish I could be cheered up that easily.

To be fair, it had been a pretty shitty week. I could have found $20 on the side of the road and been on top of the world.

 

[Kinyou]

It's so ironic that famous rich people get tons of free stuff

 

[Funchameleon]

So brave. This man is basically a gaming Saint. *holds fedora over heart*

FUCKING THIS.

journalists who are reporting this should be slapped and stripped from their office.
nothing @heartwarming here@

instead of sending thousands of copies to people like kanye west or paris hilton why not doing raffles or competitions?

this would be so much more nicer than handing them out to people who already have enough money or enough other shit. or simply do not care about that.

 

[cRIPticon]

Could you rephrase that so it makes sense?

It does make sense. Your sarcasm, however, does not.

 

[legacyzero]

I used to say that I never understand the hate Notch gets. But after he ditched ox10c, I'm pretty frustrated with him.

 

[POWERSPHERE]

rich guy says no to freebie and is a hero. lyf.

 

[Winterfang]

A heartwarming story of true gamer fandom here.

LOL what. Nice for him to support the industry but he didn't rescue a kitten or anything.

 

[daninthemix]

It's a bit like HP offering Bill Gates a free PC.

 

[Acquiescence]

Adam is an affable guy, but he shouldn't be so keen to offer free consoles and games to people who wipe their asses with dollar bills.

 

[Dylan]

Adam is an affable guy, but he shouldn't be so keen to offer free consoles and games to people who wipe their asses with dollar bills.

Well, at least not in full public view.

It almost seems like he's almost that he has the ability to do it.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Just gimme a PM Boyes I'll take any games and hardware off your hands. I can just say I'm a millionaire and it'll be cool.

 

[FryHole]

People see Tom Cruise eating X brand's cake, they buy X brand's cake.

People see/hear/read about Notch playing X Sony game, they buy and play X Sony game.

Oh, we know why the offer was made. Still sticks in the throat that they did it, still not at all heartwarming to see a rich man insist on buying his own stuff.

 

[Shiggy]

Can someone explain to me why some see him as if he was the new Jesus for this? Or is my sarcasm meter broken?

 

[daffy]

fuck notch

Inversive is eating today

 

[Higgins113]

C'mon guys, Notch has to try and stay relevant somehow.

 

[FloatingDivider]

Clearly this man so dedicated to his craft that he is willing to go into his own pocket to purchase a videogame must be one of the greatest videogame wizardz to ever walk the planet. The fact that he could spend twice what he spent on the purchase of these consoles and games a day on strippers and coke does not diminish this fact.

 

[Marvel]

How

... Noble.
