Markus “Notch” Persson, creator of Minecraft, was offered a programming job at Valve before founding his own studio, Mojang.
An excerpt from Minecraft: The Unlikely Tale of Markus ‘Notch’ Persson and the Game that Changed Everything was posted on All Things D. The book originally debuted in Swedish in 2011, but the English version was just recently released. We already knew about the job offer, but until now we didn’t know the fascinating details surrounding it.
When Minecraft started gaining traction, Notch was flown to Seattle to meet with some of his game development heroes and discuss the possibility of employment.
