truthfully I will reply I am not notch, but deep down I dont believe he only left Mojang because of stated reasons with "the players targetting him with drama" It must've been internal struggles and someone in the company wanting to cash in; they broke Notch. I don't see how someone who didn't want to sell the game to EA, was a member of the Swedish Pirate Party[citation needed], who initially voiced plans to open source the game, could sell it to the second worst offender.
