      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

          On 10 March 2019 he tweeted in response to a pro-transgender internet meme that, "You are absolutely evil if you want to encourage delusion. What happened to not stigmatizing mental illness?

          You mean that?
