Minecraft celebrates its 10th anniversary! Without its creator...
Markus "Notch" Persson has not been associated with Minecraft or the Mojang studio for many years. After he sold the studio and game to Microsoft in 2014, he left the company and did not take part in developing the game.
The main occupation of Notch is something like "web trolling", where, among other things, he does not avoid conspiracy theories (the QAnon theory).
Microsoft's decision is not a surprise. At the end of March the mention of Persson was removed from the game.
