Minecraft is universally recognized, but its accessibility on the PS5 leaves much to be desired. Minecraft hit the ground running as an indie game developed by Markus Persson, a.k.a. Notch. Minecraft’s inception traces back to 2009 when Notch started its development and released an early version to the public later that year. The initial alpha version of Minecraft was made available to play for free, paving the way for its success through organic growth instead of relying on traditional advertising, especially in its early stages. The game raced forward as Notch kept tweaking and expanding it, consistently incorporating player feedback

Video games are your usual funfare where players are handed a gun and simply go around wreaking havoc in the world. And no doubt those games are fun to play; those games earn a lot of money too; hence, many developers have based most of their catalogs around such games. But sometimes a developer comes along who does something different and unusual. One such guy is Markus Persson, the guy who made Minecraft.
This pixelated, first-person survival game is something else. It’s not just your typical run-of-the-mill survival game, but it’s an experience that tests people’s sense of creativity too. This independent game quickly became a success, making its creator an overnight success and incredibly rich.

Swedish game developer Markus Persson, the creator of popular sandbox game Minecraft and who is better known as Notch, has deleted his Twitter account @notch. This comes after Persson promised to quit the social media platform if British games journalist Mark Brown “dropped the politics” from Game Maker’s Toolkit, a YouTube channel devoted to covering video games.
“Deleting my twitter account. I entered a deal with @gamemakerstk where he would drop the politics,” Persson wrote on Twitter right before pulling the plug on his account. “One small step towards the old internet.”

“Well this is a weird day,” Brown wrote in response. “So I guess that time [Fable creator] Peter Molyneux started crying during an interview is no longer my strangest interaction with a game developer.”

Director and co-writer Rob McElhenney is no longer working on Warner Bros.’s film adaptation of “Minecraft,” according to The Wrap.
The “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” star was picked to direct the film in 2015, but now it’s not happening, he recently told The Wrap. Warner reportedly asked the writer/director duo of Adam and Aaron Nee to write a new script. “Wonder Woman” scribe Jason Fuchs wrote the previous draft with McElhenney. The Nee brothers are best known for “The Last Romantic” (2006) and “Band of Robbers” (2015). They’re also directing the upcoming “Masters of the Universe” film.
McElhenney is the second director to leave the project. Originally, “Night at the Museum” director Shawn Levy and writers Kieran Mulroney and Michele Mulroney were brought in to work on the film, but they left in 2014 after reportedly presenting new ideas to the studio that didn’t mesh with what Mojang was looking for.
