>>8927He pussied out because he found out his game was built upon intense faggotry to make money, think the intense p2w servers that still exist to this day. He hated that and tried to stop it but basically got demotivated to continue with the game because of faggot admins on his twitter.
What he did was stupid, he destroyed Minecraft's Legacy as the best selling Indie-Game of all time. Now hes a lonely billionaire with nothing.
Also pretty sure he didn't steal assets he basically made a clone of infiminer that he wanted to make in his own way, and he wasn't taking notes on old 4chan, he was an old 4chan /v/ user.
