I liberate the ending to Minecraft from Microsoft and give it to you
I&#x27;ve had Minecraft since before the pre-alpha days. I think I had a pirated copy of Alpha late in 2010 and some time in 2011 or shortly thereafter I actually bought the game. I might have easily sunk 1000s of hours into this game.<p>I think I played the ending only once, in Creative Mode, to see what the fuss was about. I never cared for the ending, because to me Minecraft never had an ending. We had a Survival server in our university computer science lab and we mostly played on there, just hanging out and building cool stuff.<p>Reading TFA, I feel like the author is gaslighting me into feeling guilty because he did not manage to cash out big time like the rest? He amplifies his contribution making it sound like this big thing when it&#x27;s not really a big thing. Other than the ending, I don&#x27;t recall there being any other story in MC? What purpose does a poetic ending have if the journey up until that point has no real impact? The ending of Portal 1 is significantly more poetic in my eyes, and it&#x27;s left a lasting impression on me that makes me sad when I realize that I can&#x27;t share it with anyone else.<p>Going on and on about how much the game was sold for, how nice Notch&#x27;s new house is, how Notch made so much money that he could just hand it out to his team, how the author thought they were all friends reads to me like someone who is very bitter and jealous. Writing more than 12k words to bring is point across does not help. Then claiming loudly that he&#x27;s made peace with the universe and his lot after a magic mushroom trip in the middle of the forest just kind of puts the cherry on top for me. He comes across as an insufferable &quot;artist&quot; and maybe that&#x27;s why he was pushed out&#x2F;excluded like this.
