why notch sold Mojang

after two years notch posted a tweet that he is selling Mojang shares notch was not a public person he was used to be a introvert he was a nerd programmer from inside who used to do parties with friends at the time he started getting hate at that time he became nervous but why he was getting hate it was time of 2014 when many Minecraft online servers were working which were of different programmers but there was a problem many of them were pay to win and to take action against this Mojang gave a statement that they will not allow pay to win elements in servers according to them server owners can charge players for different skins or to enter server or for pets they cannot sale any item that interferes in game at this players everyone will think they are saying right but at that time it started a war in players and twitter #saveminecraft was on trending and Mojang was compared with activision or ea and these rules were in Mojang from three years but players said if these were not from last three years then why Mojang is now implementing these rules and notch was getting main hate and even he was getting abused and at that time Minecraft had launched realms by which players can get their personal server with some money and server owners started to say that they are doing this for their personal server sales and notch became main target of this hate and at that time notch was watching a documentary which was of a game developer who even left game development and notch didn't wanted to get so much gate like that developer so next day he tweeted that he want to sell Mojang because they don't expertise to get hate for right thing and after a long time Microsoft called Mojang CEO that are they serious for this tweet and even activision and ea also tried to buy game and finally on 15 September 2014 Microsoft said that they will buy Mojang and Minecraft with complete rights for that they paid 2.5 billion dollars to notch they became a billionaire in seconds its half money was paid in tax and he got 1.3 billion for this and with this he first of all bought a 70 million dollars in Beverly hills which was one of the most high price at that time and he was just visiting world and doing parties and at free time he used to programming but this good time was not for so long because he was a person who said anything or from second thought he was a honest person

notch name removed from Minecraft

and due to their this personality their name was removed from Minecraft basically he was active on twitter and reddit and they said everything they had in their heart and the day he was sad he said anything like he became lone or their wife is not with them and every one knows about media media changes anything into a controversy especially notch who is a billionaire every one wants to know about their life and articles like notch is depressed started to publish and when his mood was good he said everything is good and when it was bad they said anything like they became alone and Mojang developers also don't meet him and after that he started giving his opinion on controversial topics and peoples started saying that he is a anti feminist racist and homophobic every one has a opinion and no one knows about our opinions even if we tweet it on twitter but notch was a celebrity and what ever he said became a news and peoples started giving him more hate and at a time Microsoft said that they don't agree with notch opinions because Microsoft is a corporates company and they don't want that players leave playing game because of notch and every reference of notch in game was removed from game and even notch was not called on the tenth anniversary of game notch sold the game that players will leave giving hate to notch but he was still getting hate and more than before he says that he will make new game for which he have enough money but he says that he don't want to get caught again in same cycle of getting hate

who is herobrine

herobrine is a hostile mob of Minecraft and first time he was discussed on fortune post of 2010 in which a man claimed that he made a new world of Minecraft in which he was doing crafting and chopping when he saw another player in fog and he took a screenshot on time he appears like Steve many players say that herobrine is a virus in game or a program that is developed by notch by mistake or supernaturally it is developed in game herobrine controls everything in game like he can make tunnels remove leaves from trees or make pyramids and herobrine can even control things out of the game like the player who saw herobrine first time said that when he was making post his post was getting deleted by its own and he started getting mail that don't tell any one about me after that players thought that herobrine can delete post or digitally mail to players even notch was saying that herobrine hacked their twitter and personal email which was a joke and many players say that when many animals sacrifice is made herobrine comes after that and notch said this and it was also a fun i think and now many modders made herobrine mods and there is a real account of herobrine it means that when a player bought Minecraft he used name herobrine and every time herobrine appears he is only linked with creation or destruction and many players say that when herobrine appears its a indication that something bad will happen many players say that herobrine is a good man who appears when he have to save players and notch gave this statement 🤣🤣🤣 many peoples say that herobrine is somehow linked with disk 11 basically developers are just teasing players but sometimes it creates controversies or theories and when players asked notch about herobrine he said there is nothing like this and he also stated that if players like he will develop this but after some time he denied this and there is nothing in game codes like herobrine and notch used it as a promotion like in a game event there was a herobrine pic beneath notch character and in game change logs Mojang added removed herobrine it was for popularity because herobrine was never added in game and there is nothing like herobrine it was just popularity step

Minecraft rise after every fall

why Minecraft rises after every small time so its basic reason is its new updates because Mojang releases new updates of Minecraft every year due to which old players who left game because it was becoming boring for them again start playing Minecraft to explore new game content and it gives them feel that they are playing a new game with old concepts like Minecraft because every new update changes many things in game and these updates are also good not like other games updates and every time players get to see new blocks even biome that increases craze of Minecraft every time

and for next part of this share my post I will post again soon about many other things that were not discussed in this post
