At one point, the creator for Minecraft and all around good guy, Markus “Notch” Persson, was pissed at the Facebook acquisition of the VR technology company Oculus Rift because of his personal aversion to the social media site because it “creeps him out”. This caused him to cancel a version of Minecraft that was set to debut on the tech.
Welllllllll, fast forward and after many moons of thinking about it he now says the following:
<blockquote>…I’m officially over being upset about Facebook buying Oculus. I’m upset
about there being a hole in my favorite sock instead.</blockquote>
John Carmack (if you’re a gamer at all, you know who he is) currently working with the Oculus team simply said back to Notch that if he were to “Say the word, ship the source, and I’ll make sure it runs well on you-know-what”.
I do enjoy hearing people changing their stubborn minds when it comes to new technology.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
