Rants like this annoy me.  If you think you know better, go ahead and make your own gaming company and convince a similar group of people to give you money.  I dare you!

Mojang doesn't owe us a single thing.  If you like the game, you pay for it.  If you don't, Mojang doesn't get the money.  That is all that matters and if you think Mojang is milking this game for every dime they can get... that is called free market capitalism.

There is nothing unique or distinctive of Mojang... other than they have hit upon a good idea and are being successful with the concept.  If anything, the odds are stacked against independent developers from succeeding.  I've seen other groups of programmers even come up with some fairly good ideas but not really be able to make much money from those ideas.

This isn't to say that the "bootlicking" is a bit annoying, but you also don't have to be a jerk either.

As for missing content, there are a whole bunch of very good mods that install any of this content you might want to add.  I'd rather have a game which you can mold into the game you want by choosing parts and pieces rather than demanding that everybody have the same thing... so I am sort of glad that there is a minimal number of mobs and features as well.  In fact, I dare say that is part of the draw from this game as opposed to other more structured games.

what you and most other retards on this site cant seem to understand, is that Notch promised to use the money he got from sales on developing the game (it at least said so when i bought my copy), it said so very clearly on the same part of the site you bought the copy of the game, Notch has not even tried to up hold his end of the deal, he would much rather act like the lying scumbag he is and pocket the money, at least where i live we call people who do such things scam artists and we lock them up (like they should be).

I'll admit that I started playing Minecraft using the PCGamer free demo version (time limited, but full Minecraft Beta functionality).  Heck, I still have the original map I started back elsewhen.

After playing for a couple of weeks, I broke down and purchased the game.  I'm glad that I did, and Notch deserved the cash at the time too.

Since you are so well-versed in law, then you know that every developed country has defamation laws.  Your libelous rant could easily get you into legal trouble; whether it is civil or criminal depends on where you are located.

The game has, and continues to be, developed.  Here's proof: http://www.mojang.com/author/jeb/

An apology from you is in order, so "man up" and deliver.
