The man who sold Minecraft to Microsoft for $2.5 billion feels "Isolated".

[HTexan]

this is horse shit.
He could just get it all away if money is so bad

[SF1900]

Even though I didn't quote it, I was referring to your previous posts where you said he could easily come up with another game. I don't really think that's the case.

For the most part, I think this is one of those situations where people take something too literally and too seriously. It's not really that hard to see that great success can change things. Obviously, he goes out and has people in his life, but it sounded  more like he was complaining that getting everything you think you want is not all it's cracked up to be.

He could easily come up with another game. Clearly, he has both the money and intelligence to do so. I never said it was going to be as big as minecraft. I just said he has the means to do it. He does. There is no denying that. For whatever reason, he chooses  not to.

When you chose to respond to this, when you looked at it in the context of the post of yours I was responding to and the posts of mine that you responded to, did you really think I meant  he may no longer possess the ability to operate a computer? Was it really not obvious that I meant an idea that he found compelling and worth pursuing, something that he felt the public would be excited about? Something that wasn't just procedural busy work?

LOL at him basically trying to say Microsoft stole Minecraft. Him calling Microsoft names isn't very smart either. The dude is way out of his league. Take your billions and find another purpose in life. I bet this guy couldn't understand when he brought in tons of hot pussy for parties and what not why they were on their phones texting other dudes. He thought the money/lifestyle was enough for all of them to want to be with him and only him.  


Is this house anywhere near Manly beach?

Obviously he's felt this way even before he got the money but now that he's not occupied by his computer all day he is realizing how much he hates his life. 

[thegamechanger]

to feel what he feels you need to think of it this way:

what if someone offered you a lot of money but you could never post or read on getbig ever again

you would probably accept, then buy that mansion and those cars but after a while... you will start to miss the life you had on getbig and feel isolated.

Yes and no.

There is no indication that his isolation is due to his inability to come up with a "great second act." In fact, his isolation appears to be more relationally-based. From what has been said on this thread, hes never linked his isolation to his work productivity (coming up with something as lucrative as minecraft).

With that said, there are many ways to decrease isolation, which he has is not taking advantage of. He can easily volunteer his time to any organization that has a computer system--maybe help them overhaul their system, to make it easier for them to keep their records. It doesnt have to be groundbreaking, but its just an example of just ONE way for him to decrease his isolation, if his isolation is relationally-based.

Hes choosing to sit home and eat M and Ms.

Bill gates is worth 79 billion dollars and his time is invested in all different sorts of things.

Again, as VOD said, with who he is, he can work ANYWHERE. Shit, he doesnt even have to accept a paycheck. There are millions of ways to give back. Hes choosing to complain on instagram.

His isolation is probably due to being stuck around vapid, blood sucking elitists who are impossible to develop a genuine connection with.  He needs to surround himself with REAL people.

House has an amazing home gym.

It's a 3D world where you make stuff, mine and fight people etc, and do anything really (within the limits of the game).

It looks simple on the surface, but people have made functioning computers inside the game using logic gates.

What can the computers in the video game do?  I mean, they must be limited.

Woman don't actually lust after a man's flesh the way men do with women (some women might but they are the exception, not the rule).  The majority of women aren't motivated by sex the way men are, what turns women on is money and power.  Most women fake a powerful libido to secure favors from the man they have targeted for whatever favour she seeks.  Women are far better at faking almost everything compared to men, they can even fake sexual arousal and interest if it helps their agenda.  Given the option of a homeless muscular ripped dude and a flabby, slobby billionaire, the money man wins everytime.

having a regular job and being in good shape is all you need to get quality pussy if you're not dumb as a rock. Some form of intelligence mixed with good physical condition will get women creaming.

I agree that women in the highest levels think men with great power are hot, but when we go to the mid levels all you need is regular stuff, good body and confidence, but for sure this minecraft guy will not know what it's like.

Women have said that great physical ability is hot, not so much the looks but if you are capable of doing great physical feats you're hot. But we're talking about hannibal4king level shit. If you are hannibl4king level, it doesn't matter are you poor and homeless you will get some good poontang!

I agree in part, and anyone can get a woman, but the women are settling for less than what they want.  Like men, women are competing for the best of the best, a woman's selection criteria is power and money first, good looks and hot body second (maybe throw intelligence into the mix).  A man's criteria is good looking and hot body, he couldn't care less if she was as dumb as a box of rocks.  So while a woman will enjoy a fling with a so called hot guy, she still prefers to settle down with a good provider.

stereotypes are funny because they bring plenty of truth. Have you seen those vitaly prank videos where the guy asks a woman out and she declines, but when he asks the woman out with a sports car she is all willing and shit. So you're right.

[thegamechanger]

no he isnt right.

youre both two nerds who got problems with women and so you make up this fantasy story about how this evil bitches just want rich guys so it will make you feel better.
youre clueless.

I never said women were evil bitches, fuck where did you get that from.  I am simply pointing out a woman's motivation and the truth behind it obviously upsets you as perhaps you feel you don't have much to offer in the two main criteria a woman is looking for.  I don't fault a woman for acting according to her nature, she has her future offspring to worry about, and same with the man, he selects the most beautiful, fittest looking woman he can find as this can be an indicator of good genetics, so in this way he is also trying to secure a better future for his offspring.  It is you who sounds bitter, and why would I feel better that woman prefer rich guys, I am not a rich man.

I'm sorry that you have yet to understand women's motivation, and while women may make their own money, they would trade that in a heartbeat to be the partner of a rich and powerful man.  But such men are in limited supply and in high demand, so lots of women have to settle for working for a living.  And you can bet your bottom dollar that even working woman are still trying to compete to get the man who will best provide for her and her offspring when she is unable to work due to pregnancy and child rearing.

Look, I understand your frustration, and a lot of people believe as you do, but it's wishful thinking.  People like to sugar coat reality to take the edge of it's harshness, but human nature remains human nature.  I mean wouldn't it be nice if women did actually love men for who they were and not what they could do for them, sounds like a great story, but that wouldn't help the evolution of the species now would it.  And wouldn't it be nice if men just didn't see women as real life fuck dolls, but once again, wishful thinking.  The world is what it is, you can either rally against it or accept, it's your choice.

in the modern civilized world, no.

Women must see you coming a mile away, I can actually tell you believe all that nonsense.  But you aren't alone, the majority of men think as you do, they haven't worked out the game, some never do.  I mean, I hope you seriously aren't expecting women to expose their secret strategy, that would interfere with securing the most suitable mate.  If it makes you feel better to think women actually judge you on your character then continue believing that (your mum and sisters might), but the best way of improving your chances at the best the female gene pool has to offer is to seek money and power.  Or you could simply drop out of the game and go your own way.
