    Maybe so but the more big-name supporters of the concept of owning ones games, the better. Not to mention the juxtaposition of his other views from what I’ve been seeing from him adds to the absurdity of the concept of not keeping what you pay money for.

      “Fascist makes a good point” isn’t the flex you seem to think it is. If anything it makes you second guess the idea because “oh shit, that turd brain agrees with me? Maybe I misunderstood something…”. Next you’ll tell me Elon Musk agrees as well like that means diddly squat.

        I think you’re letting your own biases blind you. I’m not going to defend Notch or anything like that (and Musk can gargle a 50’ golden cock and balls, for the record) but I’d consider myself to be quite in the loop about the general happenings in the gaming world and still didn’t know about this shit so I don’t think it’s unfair to assume the average consumer is going to know too much more than “creator of one of the greatest games of all time supports game ownership. Cool!” and likely not read any further than that because we’re still talking about people on the internet. So yes, I do think it’s an advantage to have a headline like that. And for the smarter people who understand the world is full of nuance, we see an alt-right fascist expressing a surprisingly left-leaning ideology.

          Fair enough. Then I guess it’s up to people like me to point out that the guys a giant douche and we should find actual positive role models and not lean on shit bags like Notch. Especially ones who try to take all the credit when their team did most the actual work you know and love. Lest we forget notch was so bad at programming that the creepers were originally supposed to be pigs.
