Minecraft creator Notch believes that if fans can't afford his game, they should just download it illegally.

A fan on Twitter said to Notch, "I really like the game but lack the money to buy it. I thought I might at least ask for a free account before piracy." Notch's response ? "Just pirate it. If you still like it when you can afford it in the future, buy it then. Also don't forget to feel bad. ;)"Over four million copies of Minecraft have been sold, so Notch may not be particularly concerned about making money by this point. Minecraft is amazing , and whether you paid for it or not, the game's 1.1 update was released today. All of the the bug fixes and new features are detailed on Mojang's official blog
