The Minecraft subreddit won't be a source for official Mojang communications going forward.

      I think he took money from some people who really really want an IPO to cash out.

        Exactly. He could not care any less about any of this. He’s just the faceman right now taking all the heat on purpose for that sweet sweet ipo cash out. Money is all that matters at this point. He’s burning the entire company down to the ground just to cash out and disappear from public life.

      And it’s not like this is some small indie game anymore… If Mojang thinks it’s right to back out with the best selling game of all time, why won’t other devs back out of Reddit?

      He’s modeling his actions after Elon Musk. AFTER the Twitter fiasco. So no shit.
