I converted the price of the game from Euros to the dollar. Then multiplyed the price of the game tmes how many people bought it and, acording to my results. Notch made nearly 70 million dollars from sales alone. Not to mention adds on the site and the Merch which would easily give him another 10 million.
You need to age a bit more before fully understanding the concept of your statement.
70 million sounds like a lot, but consider expenses paid for marketing, office rental, payroll, travel, electricity, food, merchandise production costs, server costs, etc.
And so what? Of course he's making bank. He made something out of practically nothing. Hard work and dedication. He EARNED that money. So power to him.
you know that he has to pay programmers and creators. He also loses money from the on coming lawsuit.
doesnt he have to pay a large percentage in taxes? and knowing notch, he will push this till the last minute and try to negotiate with them until its like the day before court, at that point, he will settle

I shoot my arrows in the air sometimes saying ay-oh, creeper's KO'd
Pcgamer..com had an article just about his newfound wealth and he was very humble and appreciative about it. You should look it up. Also the game has gone up in price therefore 70 is probably too high

10 million off the merch? Your ****ing nuts.
Even if all the money from merch adds up to 10 million, (which I HIGHLY doubt), he'd only get about 2 million at the most. He also has a whole team of people to pay, so he only gets a cut of that money... but don't get me wrong, hes rich as ****.
He damn well deserves it, unlike Paris Hilton, etc.

Notch on his twitter: "bugs that feel wrong get fixed"
Do not get attached to your saves, seriously, stuff like this has happened before, if there's something you love and really want to build...Wait for release.
Did you took in consideration of alpha/ indev prices?
Did you minus away the tax that is enormous in Sweden?
Did you counted the cost of running a dev team(salaries,travel compensations, etc) ?
Did you add in the cost of running a studio with monthly bills and its computers + internet?
Plus there is an upcoming lawsuit from bethesta that is totally ******** in my opinion.
A lawsuit like that could make mojang bankrupt if Bethesta Wins.

Two things 1: on top of paying staff he has taxes to pay and 2: He is in a lawsuit?
Yeah, that would take away 5 million at the most.
Read the front page. I think he should go on Peoples court so we can all watch. :laugh.gif:
