Microsoft bought Mojang (Minecraft)

I can believe that reasoning. It's probably a lot more hassle running a company than it is to sit on your ass and watch twitch streams all day

Except Notch made enough money off of Minecraft to outsource everything.

Read it: let others (i.e. 4J Studios) participate in success
And you sure know the certification processes asked by Sony and MS when you talk about "ousourcing"

Notch isn't the only Majong owner. And he's prolly not the one doing bizness decisions mainly.
Mojang is developing more than one game (i.e. Scrolls)

AFAIK:
224 Million Euro turnover
88 Milliono Euro return
45 employees

Look back and see how Notch handled everything BEFORE blowing up: he did everything himself. Community handling, programming, etc.
After that see who he hired and what he did himself (hint, it's not much

) but I do say he has great bussiness instincts.

July 2010 same day he stopped offering individual help on tech issues ... and ez was taking care of forums for a while then ...

Ok i must confess i didn't follow Minecraft stuff that much longer as it was clear to me (pre -alpha buyer) that he won't release the source which was an idea of him in 2009 and got me interested mainly as i was looking for new grounds to waste my time on ...
