Markus ‘Notch’ Persson has split his personal dividend earnings from Minecraft studio Mojang’s last fiscal year among his team.
Totalling $3 million, Notch said via Twitter that he distributed the money because “Every single Mojangsta is a massive part of the reason Mojang is the best place on earth to work at right now.”
