Is he scared to make new games?
Does he even have the creativity to make new games, was Minecraft his one hit wonder?

He seems happy with his earnings, and doesnt seem overly interested in creating new things.

I know if i had such amazing luck with such a simple idea, i know i'd be like "thats it, i'll support minecraft, but you aint getting anymore out of me, now bathe me in gold!"
 
The good thing about making the money he has from Minecraft is now he can employ people to make good games :)

So rather than rely on his game making skills, he can run a studio that makes good games.
 
I think most minecraft players who use mods have known this for some time. The majority of new features since 1.3 at least have been direct copies of mods, occasionally with slight changes to them so it looks like he was doing something different. The only thing I can think of that has been added to minecraft recently that wasnt in a major mod months before mojang added it was the redstone comparator (and thats because most people who use mods use redpower for their electronics, and a comparator wouldnt work for that)

*edit*
oh, and the beacon, totally forgot about that
 
I never fell for the hype so instead of ahting him i'll just hope he learn how to design a game instead of just throwing stuff together for a sandbox.

I think that's one of the problems, because he made it so easy to mod lots of people have already added everything anyone could ever want.

So he's left either being accused of ripping off a mod, or just maintaining minecraft 'core' forever more.
 
I never could figure out what the draw of minecraft was to be honest. I certainly wouldn't have labelled the guy that made it anything special. The world is full or weird concepts that perhaps shouldn't work and wouldn't work 90% of the time but when they hit at the right time its gold.

There was that kid that made a 1000px x 1000px website and sold each px for $1 as advertising. Absolutely retarded concept that should never have worked but because of the media coverage, suddenly it was worth the money as so many people were checking it out. That brought all the "I wish I could have an idea that good" brigade out of the woodwork which annoyed me no end.

The world doesn't reward those who are the best at what they do so I have no idea why people though this guy was some sort of genius. He created a sandbox game with the worst graphics ever!
