Minecraft's creator will not be part of the series 10-year anniversary celebrations due to his "comments and opinions," says Microsoft
Microsoft continues to distance themselves from Notch
Markus “Notch” Persson has gotten himself in quite a bit of hot water over the years. His Twitter account in particular has garnered a lot of negative attention, and it's clear Microsoft wants to distance themselves from Notch for what they deem to be inappropriate discussion.
Microsoft will be hosting a few celebratory events for Minecraft's 10th anniversary, including a press event at Mojang in Stockholm on May 17th, 2019. Rather than letting people wonder, Microsoft flat-out stated that Notch will not be invited/attending due to the nature of his comments.
“His comments and opinions do not reflect those of Microsoft or Mojang and are not representative of Minecraft.”
