This is a response to this piece by John Callaham: <a href="http://www.neowin.net/news/notch-dont-be-a-hypocrite-about-minecraft-and-windows-8" rel="nofollow">http://www.neowin.net/news/notch-dont-be-a-hypocrite-about-m...</a>
I appreciate notch's position on the whole thing, but I wish he didn't feel the need to make his point with rape jokes.<p>(Edit: It's not made with rape jokes anymore. Previously, it said "goat rapist", now it says "goat murderer", which is rather preferable to me.)
Good thing John Callaham stopped beating his wife.<p>Classy response by Notch (ahem). But I do wished more developers would take such a principled stance.
When you have a multi-million selling game and a new platform comes along, you don't tell the world you're definitely going to port it. You wait for the 6 figure check to arrive and <i>then</i> port it. If it's 7 figures, you call it a platform exclusive.
