Why the Creator of Minecraft Got Banned from the Game

Markus "Notch" Persson created Minecraft, which became a global phenomenon and the best-selling game in history. Overwhelmed by fame and pressure, he sold it to Microsoft for $2.5 billion in 2014. Despite becoming a billionaire, his controversial social media posts led to backlash and Microsoft distancing from him. Notch had a troubled past, including family struggles and personal tragedy, and none of his later projects matched Minecraft's success.
