Minecraft inventor Markus Persson claims he's 'never felt more isolated' since selling his company Mojang AB to Microsoft for ?1.5billion.
In a series of a downhearted tweets this morning, the Swede spoke of how he disliked his new-found wealth and felt unchallenged and empty.
He wrote: 'The problem with getting everything is you run out of reasons to keep trying, and human interaction becomes impossible due to imbalance.

在以15亿英镑的天价将Mojang AB公司出售给微软之后,来自瑞典的程序员Markus Persson却表示自己感受到了前所未有的空虚。
Makus在今早的几条推文中提到自己不喜欢这笔突如其来的财产,它让自己的生活变得空虚而没有挑战。
他写道“得到这一切会让自己失去尝试和挑战的理由,不对等的地位也让以前的人际交往变得举步维艰”

(后方某位注目。。)

'Hanging out in Ibiza with a bunch of friends and partying with famous people, able to do whatever I want, and I've never felt more isolated.
'In Sweden, I will sit around and wait for my friends with jobs and families to have time to do shit, watching my reflection in the monitor.'
Persson has a personal fortune of around ?1billion, according to Forbes estimates.

“与Ibiza、朋友、还有名人们随心所欲地聚会,却让我感觉到前所未有的空虚。
想当年我还在瑞典的时候,会呆呆地看着显示器里的自己,等着朋友们能从工作和家庭中忙里偷闲来一起玩耍。”
福布斯评估Persson的个人财产约为10亿英镑。


He launched the hit computer game Minecraft in 2009, in which players can build an entire world using retro-looking blocks.
But the 35-year-old said he no longer wanted the ‘responsibility’ of owning such a global success, and sold his development studio Mojang to US giant Microsoft.
Last year he said he wanted to ‘stick to small prototypes and interesting challenges’, adding: ‘I’ve become a symbol.

他在2009年发布了这个席卷全球的电脑游戏,在游戏中玩家能用复古的方块搭建整个世界。
但是35岁的Persson表示自己不想承担这样一个全球性成功人物所带来的“责任”,并将自己的Mojang工作室出售给了业界巨头微软。
去年他曾说过“即便我在别人心目中已经成为了一个象征,我还是想坚持只做些小游戏的原型、尝试有趣的挑战”



‘I don’t want to be a symbol, responsible for something huge that I don’t understand, that I don’t want to work on, that keeps coming back to me.
‘I’m not an entrepreneur. I’m not a CEO. I’m a nerdy computer programmer who likes to have opinions on Twitter.’
This morning's tweets went on: 'When we sold the company, the biggest effort went into making sure the employees got taken care of, and they all hate me now.
'Found a great girl, but she's afraid of me and my life style and went with a normal person instead.
'I would Musk and try to save the world, but that just exposes me to the same type of a******s that made me sell minecraft again.'
His next tweet, however, appeared slightly more upbeat. He wrote: 'People who made sudden success are telling me this is normal and will pass. That's good to know! I guess I'll take a shower then!'
Mr Persson, who is known to gamers as ‘Notch’, was the majority shareholder of Mojang, controlling 71 per cent of the company according to its annual reports.
He has 2.46million Twitter followers and has become a reluctant celebrity through Minecraft’s success. He said: ‘I don’t see myself as a real game developer. I make games because it’s fun.

“我不希望自己成为一个象征,为某些我无法理解、不想接触的庞然大物负责。但是这个重担却总会往我身上落。
我不是企业家,也不是CEO,只是一个喜欢发推特的小小程序员”
今早更新的推文中说道“我们卖掉公司之后,最大成就就是让小伙伴们从此能吃好喝好,然而到现在他们已经开始恨我这么做了”
“我曾经的妻子,现在却害怕我和我的生活方式,也因此结束了我们的婚姻去与普通人一起生活”
“或许我该带个虚伪的面具去拯救世界,但这样却恰恰暴露了我和那帮让我卖掉Minecraft的傻X们是一路货色”
他之后的一条推文稍微乐观了一些:“一夜暴富的人们告诉我这些状况都是正常的,都会过去的——那就好。。那我洗个澡去先”
Persson,人称Notch,是Mojang的大股东,根据年报,他拥有公司71%的股份。
他拥有246万推特粉丝,并在Minecraft的成功之后并非本愿地成为了世界名人。他说“我从未把自己当成一个正经的游戏开发者,当初做游戏只是出于自己的喜好”



‘I don’t make games with the intention of them becoming huge hits. I can’t be responsible for something this big. It’s not about the money. It’s about my sanity.’
Like any 35-year-old who has suddenly found himself being one of the richest people in the world, Persson has spent lavishly and partied extravagantly.
One family friend who spoke to MailOnline in April said they hoped that he won't buckle under the pressures of what such fame and fortune can bring.
Divorced after a year of marriage he has blown hundreds of thousands of pounds in the bars, casinos and nightclubs of Las Vegas. Persson has reportedly spent an eye-watering $180,000 [?112,000] in a single night.
And to celebrate the sale of 10 million 'downloads' of the game he treated the whole staff to a three-day trip of ultimate extravagance to Monte Carlo three years ago.
Whisked away by private jet, employees were driven around in sports cars when they were not drinking champagne and partying aboard a luxury yacht. Staff were also entitled to share in a ?2 million bonus pot.
Before Christmas he out-bid pop star couple Jay Z and Beyonce to buy the most expensive mansion in Beverly Hills ever – an eight-bedroom modern-day palace in Los Angeles' most exclusive district - for over ?43 million [$70 million].

“我不像其他开发者那样,怀着各种各样功利的目的去做游戏——这个想法在别人心中成为了一个我所无法承受的巨大理念。这不是钱多钱少的问题,而是我能否依旧保持自己的理性”
与其他在而立之年就一夜暴富的人一样,Persson开始变得挥霍无度。4月就曾有他的家人告诉本报他们不希望Persson被如此巨大的名誉财产压垮。
离婚后仅一年时间,他已经在拉斯维加斯的酒吧、赌场和夜店里砸了上百万。甚至有报道称他曾一夜就花费令人乍舌的18万美元。
他还带着其他员工们不是喝着香槟在游艇上开着聚会,就是每天坐着私人飞机开着跑车,甚至设立过一个200万英镑的奖池来助兴。
圣诞前他用高于明星Jay Z夫妇和Beyonce的出价拍下了比利佛山有史以来最贵的公寓——一座坐落在洛杉矶最繁华地区的,拥有8间卧室的,价值43万英镑的现代皇宫。


(Notch的一年婚姻,有一个女儿)

It boasts 15 bathrooms, a 16-car garage, an infinity pool, wine cellar and a sweet shop.
Markus Persson also owns two of the priciest apartments in the Swedish capital Stockholm - valued at ?3 million and ?2 million, respectively – one with arguably the best view of the water-surrounded city.
He said he prefers the First Class cabin of British Airways to travelling by private jet, but this has not prevented him from regular journeys in a Learjet.
He drinks in Stockholm's most fashionable night club, rubbing shoulders with stars including Katy Perry, Prince Harry and Hugh Grant.
He has taken up golf, the sport of rich, successful businessmen, playing at some of the most prestigious courses in the world - but does admit he hasn't got a clue about what he is doing.
Even before he sold his company the computer genius was one of the top tax payers in Sweden, handing over some ?8million in his 2012/13 returns.
His new firm Rubberbrain has state-of-the art office space in the heart of Stockholm.


这座公寓有15个浴室、车库可以容纳16辆车,还有一个无边缘游泳池,一个酒窖和一个糖果屋(糖果屋什么鬼)
瑞典首都斯德哥尔摩的最贵的公寓中也有两套在Persson名下——分别价值300万英镑和200万英镑,其中一套还被认为是鸟瞰这个环水城市的最佳位置。
比起私人飞机,他说他更喜欢英航的头等舱,但这依旧没有阻止他现在坐着Learjet满天飞。(Learjet:一种商务飞机名称)
他在斯德哥尔摩最时尚的夜店,和Katy Perry、哈里王子、Hugh Grant等明星们一起花天酒地。
他也在一些著名球场开始接触高尔夫这项富商运动——之后也承认自己完全不懂这玩意。
即便是在卖掉公司之前,这个电脑天才就已经是瑞典纳税金额最高的个人之一,2012、2013每年上交约800万英镑的税收。
他的新公司也开设在了斯德哥尔摩市中心的最高端办公楼中。

由于并严肃的资讯,所以翻译中有些不严谨卖萌的请见谅。。
题外话:
依然记得当年Notch是那么地英姿飒爽,直拒微软,http://www.mcbbs.net/thread-54262-1-1.html如今也乖乖倒在巨头的石榴裙下。
只能说工作组现在在微软旗下听微软的指挥,Mojang自求多福。。(个人主观看法)
不管以上Notch近况的报道是否全部属实,希望还能有机会看到他为我们带来的新作

呵呵,我又能说什么呢,Mojang拒绝微软时我是多么的感动啊。

可惜微软这种巨头的能力不是一个Mojang团队能够抵挡的(我也默默的为Notch可惜)

Notch已经不是以前的Notch了。

省点钱先,百万富翁也一样可以做游戏啊不是吗
或者花完自己的钱然后回到瑞典继续过自己的小日子

混乱
心疼,一个英才现在被钱压垮。。。
但愿他能早日早日振作起来,我期待他能以任何形式回归到独立游戏,或者minecraft中来

应该庆幸mojang被微软收购,而不是EA
微软真有钱,25亿美元买了一个游戏。

谁让他卖啊。。表示一直很不理解他的想法,明明自己做了就要承担啊

糖果屋指的是全是M&S的一间屋子。
15个浴室简直成了公共厕所了。
话说Notch不想当亿万富翁把钱给我呀!
