It's so addicting there's already a thread on it (look in 'other games' or just use the search).

The big difference is that Notch is a lazy developer and Toady isn't.

On don't you start on this bullshit as well. Notch is a busy guy with his company and really doesn't have the time to program when setting all this up. Cut him some slack. He'll go back to his rapid schedule once things are set up.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Because setting up a development company to handle non-programming issues is laziness of course.  ::)

It's the fans prerogative to decry the work or work ethic of the person who creates something they enjoy.

Well, no it's not. But they do it anyway.

They were getting frequent updates, now they aren't, they blame it on the face of Mincecraft (Notch). Does this surprise anyone?

Toady went without an update for over a year, it doesn't matter.

Didn't RPS report that Notch made over 3 million dollars so far?

That should definitely be effecting his productivity in a positive way.

It's doing the opposite though because he's having to work his way through various obstacles set up by the Swedish government and Paypal. It all sounds extremely complicated, and I'm sure it is.
