Markus Persson: The King of Minecraft

Markus Persson, commonly known as “Notch,” is a Swedish game developer famous for creating the cult game Minecraft, and for his love of hats.

Born in Stockholm in 1979, Persson grew up among the trolls and the vikings. His love of computers started at a young age when he realised that he could use them to avoid social interaction.

After working for several game companies, Persson decided to take a leap of faith and start his own game development company, Mojang. He started coding Minecraft as a side project, and soon it became the number one game before anyone knew what was going on.

Minecraft allows players to build anything they want with virtual cubes, and is famous for its blocky graphics and addictive gameplay. It is also famous for causing extreme procrastination and for being a legit excuse to not answer the phone.

Thanks to Minecraft’s success, Persson became a billionaire, and is now known for his collection of expensive hats and tropical islands.

Despite his success, Persson has not forgotten his roots, and regularly participates in game jams and charity projects. He is also a talented musician and comedian, and once played the recorder on Swedish television.

Overall, Markus Persson is a true icon in the gaming industry, and a hilarious and lovable person. He is proof that with enough determination and creativity, anyone can make it big, as long as they are prepared to put hours and hours of their lives into making a game about blocks.
