Its great that he can give that kind of money away. But its not really special when you look at the type of money he has to have.
No one with less than 3 million is gonna work for 3 million then decide to just give it away. That man is either sitting on a massive amount of money that 3 million doesn't even compare to. Or he was drunk.

I think the world needs more people like this man, giving because he knows how much great work his employees have done, so instead of hoarding the money he gives it to those people who helped him get where he is today. Well done Notch, well done indeed, I have the utmost respect for you.
If a person like Bobby Kotick were ever to something like this i'll eat my shoes
I'm not sure how much Kotick in involved in this. But Activision has the CoD Endowment or something like that. It helps veterans find jobs after returning from war.. I think.
But they have some charity that they founded.

With so many developers like EA and Activison that seem to live for screwing people over, it's nice to finally find one developer who really knows what to do.
The man's got class, and a heart of diamond. Good show, Notch.
great thing for notch to do, more people should be more like that. i imagine it came up as a way for notch to avoid giving that 3mil to his government. and now the Mojangstas get to pay taxes on it!
Yeah,you won't find a guy like Notch walking around with bodyguards and being in limos all day.
They said the same thing about John Lennon... there's always a crazy out there waiting to ruin your day... Most of them are green and white and go "Hissssss"
I C wat u did thar...
Notch, you have restored my faith in developers as humans.
