We've reached out for official comment on the reason Persson's name i snow missing from the screens. As a possible background, though, Minecraft is a game played by millions of kids all over the world, and is now owned by Microsoft. Meanwhile Notch has become a conspiracy theorist whose increasingly erratic (read: racist) twitter behaviour has led to a situation best described as:
[embedded birdsite post] son: this minecraft game is great dad
dad: it is indeed son
son: who made it?
dad: no one, it came from space
@Ghast he's still in the credits, but they removed the splash screen text that said stuff like "made by notch!"
