After initially speaking out against Facebook’s purchase of Oculus VR back in March, Minecraft creator Markus “Notch” Persson is ready to move on.
Despite backing the Oculus Rift Kickstarter for $10,000 and subsequently being one of the first people to get his hands on the Oculus Rift DK1, the founder of development studio Mojang and creator of the wildly popular Minecraft (2011), Persson quickly spoke out against the Facebook purchase of Oculus VR, saying that the social media giant “creeps me out.”

He expanded his tweet into a full blog post on his personal blog:

Does this mean we’ll see a version of Minecraft for the Oculus Rift DK2? It certainly opens the option, but seeing as Persson has handed development of the game over to Jens “Jeb” Bergensten way back in 2011, it’s unlikely Persson’s call. Not to mention that there’s already a fantastic Oculus Rift mod for Minecraft with DK2 support on the way.
