Minecraft's Markus Persson Gives $3 Million To His Employees

Posted on Friday, March 2 @ 12:20:45 Eastern by

In what is an incredible early holiday bonus, Minecraft co-creator Markus "Notch" Persson has decided to distribute his $3 million dividend amongst his 25 employees at Mojang.

That's an average of $120,000 per person and just about the most awesome thing about being an indie studio. I mean, do you think some of the top executives from Activision or Electronic Arts would even think about spreading their profits like that? Makes me want to become a persona servant for Mojang. See you guys!

    wow, an exec from a successful company chooses to share with the employees who were instrumental in said company's success. What a novel idea....sarcasm aside, I am very impressed. Most other execs would have laid most of them off.
