Yeah, apparently he decided to go hard alt-right at some point. Apparently with nothing better to do now that he's retired from Minecraft development, he amuses himself by posting racist, anti-LGBT, and QAnon horseshit.
So much so that Microsoft actually removed him from the credits.
That's wild that they try to change history like that, he was literally the sole developer of the original game, creating it entirely for a programming competition right? Even if he's following stupid conspiracies you shouldn't be trying to change history to suit your narrative, that's something actual racists try to do.
I mean, it’s not like notch’s contributions to the game are hidden or something. It’s extremely common knowledge. And no one reads the Minecraft credits anyway, the entire scroll is more than an hour long!
