Notch considers Minecraft to be dead

Following the release of the Sonic x Minecraft DLC, the game’s creator, Markus Alexej Persson, also known as Notch, tweeted about the current state of the title. He tweeted that he considered his creation to be dead even though the average player believes that it’s going quite strong. Many players and community members replied negatively to Notch’s comments which has caused a wide amount of outrage against him.

Notch developed Minecraft following the creation of the company Mojang in 2009. He worked on the game till 2014 before Mojang’s massive $2.5 billion acquisition by Microsoft. Following his exit from the company, Notch has found himself in a lot of controversy for some opinions he expressed on Twitter. Since then, Microsoft has disassociated from Notch and the split became apparent when he wasn’t invited for the game’s 10-year anniversary celebrations in 2019.

Notch not a huge fan of the Sonic crossover

Along with his statements about the current state of Minecraft, it seems like Notch is not a huge fan of the Sonic crossover. Recently, Mojang revealed a Sonic DLC. which brought the world of The Hedgehog to Minecraft. The entire world is created out of blocks, and players should definitely try out some of the unique levels and collect some rings with the world’s fastest Hedgehog.

Many players will battle him on his statements about Minecraft being dead because it’s quite popular even to this day. The game has had some major changes including Part 1 of the Caves & Cliffs Update which released this month. Other than that, fans are also flocking to play and watch other Minecraft players during events like the MC Championship. It’s currently on an upward path in popularity, and it will probably stay that way for a long time.
