Minecraft creator won’t be included in the 10 year anniversary event
Variety reports that Minecraft creator Markus ‘Notch’ Persson is going to be absent from the 10-year anniversary event celebrating the “past, present and exciting future of the decade-old franchise.”
According to a Microsoft spokesperson, he won’t be a part of the press event at Mojang in Stockholm because of the views expressed on his social media accounts.
“His comments and opinions do not reflect those of Microsoft or Mojang and are not representative of Minecraft,” they said.
An update last month removed all references of Notch from the game, presumably for the same reason.
Persson sold Minecraft to Microsoft back in September 2014 for $2.5 billion.
As it stands, he’s made no comment on the news on his Twitter account.

What he said literally wasn't anything offensive... So he doesn't believe in white privilege???? WOOOOOOWWWWW that's like SOOOOOOO BAAAADDDD!!! (Sarcasm) Censorship will happen extremely quickly if we let it.

Sucks but he probably don't want to be there anyways if they got all this animosity towards each other. He will still always be recognized as the one who created it and remembered for his work.
MazePosted:
He will always be the true founder of this game, just cause he doesn't represent Microsoft doesn't mean they should continue to disrespect him. I mean, a few billion dollars later I personally wouldn't care at all if I was him

We understand but cmon. It's gonna be one of the greatest games ever and he made it. Should still include him

Notch probably just wants to move on with his life. He made a game that millions play/played, and he made his money.
