I think it was more the fact that his wife divorced him (neutral terms my ass)
How did I miss this? (both in this conversation and in games news I mean)
So the woman he had basically JUST married divorced him? That's quiet funny, and just screams "I married you for a piece of that phat minecraft money, and now that we are wed I will divorce you and take a chunk of it, laughing all the way to the bank as I do so."
What if he saw it coming and sold minecraft to microsoft to keep her from getting any part of it?
Probably more because Microsoft offered a metric fuckton of money for it. I mean at the time Microsoft was buying he was starting to drift away from Minecraft, with his team working on it, as he went to do his other projects. I mean holy hell, if I had made a game that got successful and was offered millions of dollars for it, I would accept it too. Fuck that mentality of him just being a sell out, that is a lot of money!
