p>I'm leaving Mojang

/p>

p>A relatively long time ago, I decided to step down from Minecraft development. Jens was the ideal person to take over leading it, and I was keen to try to do something different. In the beginning, I failed by trying to create something massive again, but since I decided to just stick to small prototypes and interesting challenges I've had such pleasure at work. Although I wasn't certain where I would fit in Mojang, where the majority of people work, I was told that I was important to the culture so I stayed.

/p>

p>I was home with a cold a few weeks ago when the internet went wild with rage against me because of some sort of EULA situation that I had nothing to do with. do with. I was confused. I didn't understand. I was frustrated. Then I watched the This is Phil Fish video on YouTube and realized I did not have the connection with my fans that I believed I had. I've become a symbol. I don't want to become a symbol. I don't want be accountable for something I don't know about. That I don't want to do anything about. I'm not an entrepreneur. I'm not a CEO. I'm a geeky computer programer who loves to share opinions on Twitter.

/p>

p>When the deal is completed and I'm done, I'll be leaving Mojang to return to web experiments and Ludum Dares. If I make an error and it gets traction, I'll probably end it immediately.

/p>

p>Considering the public image of me is already a bit skewed, I don't expect to get away from negative comments through this but at least I don't feel the need to read them.

/p>

p>This is contrary to a lot of my public statements. I don't have a good answer to that. I am also aware that many of you used me as a symbol of an apparent struggle. I'm not. I'm a human being and I'm struggling with you. https://cobraplanet.com/ </p>

p>You are my best friend. You are amazing in every way. I am thankful for having made Minecraft what it is today. But there are too many of us, and I cannot be responsible for something like this. It's Microsoft's property in a sense. It's been a part of your lives for a long time and will remain yours.

/p>

p>It's not about money. It's about my mental health.
