Notch Lost over $21B

By this logic, I lost $500B by not getting options on NVIDIA and timing every single successful jump.
slater•8mo ago
Right? I've lost hundreds of millions of dollars by not winning the weekly lottery.
walth•8mo ago
My biggest regret is now not making friends with Doc Brown.
bigyabai•8mo ago
Was this post copywritten by AI? It's all been boiled down to bullet points and includes ChatGPT's infamously overfit "X didn't just..." concluding paragraph.
techpineapple•8mo ago
I can’t imagine the miserable life a person must lead to focus on loss rather than the happiness brought to millions of people, the revolution in the gaming industry they started, and the 1 BILLION DOLLARS THEY MADE.

Money can’t buy happiness, but obsessing on other people’s missteps can buy misery.

jdabney•8mo ago
The title for this post seems very incorrect. How can you have "lost" something you never had? He chose to not invest in Microsoft and live his life how he wanted and that somehow makes it out to him making poor choices. Notch is still a billionaire; is the person that wrote this a billionaire?
GianFabien•8mo ago
Notch made his choices: beautiful home, flash cars, fun parties, etc. What is there not to like?

When you have $1.3B "left over" it will fund a lavish lifestyle for decades to come.

In my view, the article reflects the ills of the hustle culture that values money over all factors. He who dies with the most money is still dead. I'd rather my check to the undertaker bounce and have a massive wake with the few friends who outlive me.

whywhywhywhy•8mo ago
He obviously isn't interested, I mean the only thing that I find surprising about him is he isn't funding a studio to make his dream games. Seemed to eventually get burned out when he tried to do it himself again.
huslage•8mo ago
Having $1.3 Billion is nothing to sneeze at. He obviously has done well for himself and has made the choices he has made for his own reasons. He is in no way a failure.

That article silently assumes that, having a billion, the next step is earning more billions.

I can think of other options. I might not choose to buy that expensive house and those cars, personally speaking, but I certainly think there are options other than aiming for another billion.
