There are a few articles floating around today about comments from Markus Persson, aka &quot;Notch,&quot; the creator of Minecraft. He sold his game studio to Microsoft last year for $2.5 billion, but he seems to be having a hard time adjusting to his newfound fame and wealth[0]. He wrote, &quot;The problem with getting everything is you run out of reasons to keep trying, and human interaction becomes impossible due to imbalance. ... Found a great girl, but she&#x27;s afraid of me and my life style and went with a normal person instead. I would Musk and try to save the world, but that just exposes me to the same type of a$#@%&amp;*s that made me sell minecraft again.&quot; While he later suggests he was just having a bad day, he does seem to be dealing with some isolation issues. Granted, it can be hard to feel sorry for a billionaire, but I&#x27;ve wondered at times how I&#x27;d handle sudden wealth like that, and I long ago decided it would make the human relationships I&#x27;m accustomed to rather difficult. So, how would you deal with Notch&#x27;s problem? It seems like one the tech industry should at least be aware of, given the focus on startup culture.<p>[0] http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bgr.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;08&#x2F;30&#x2F;minecraft-creator-markus-persson-microsoft-lonely&#x2F;
