      Persson left Mojang because he was, I imagine like the entire Mojang crew, unprepared for the monolithic success of Minecraft. These are apparently also his reasons for selling to M$: He disliked the fame and responsibility, and wanted to return to what an indie dev always wants - to make smaller games and have a wholesome connection with the gaming community. The last straw for him was a lot of people being assholes at him just because he’s the lead dev of Mojang. So, he handed the reins to Jens Bergensten. GameRant source

    the best thing notch ever did was get himself cut out of the credits for Minecraft. the second best thing he’ll ever do is die alone.
