Minecraft's Markus 'Notch' Persson: 'I am not the right person to make' 0x10c

Notch is no longer working on the follow-up to his smash-hit world-building game Minecraft. The indie developer says that player expectations drained the fun out of making huge games.

“Recently, I was streaming some Team Fortress 2 and got asked about the progress on 0x10c. I said I wasn’t working on it, and it became news,” Persson wrote on his blog. “I understand why [it became news], and it really shouldn’t surprise me, but I really don’t want to turn into another underdelivering visionary game designer. The gaming world has enough of those.”
