    I'm trying to compare this to my career to think of what I would do...

    If I self-published a half-finished novel, and charged a small fee for it, as a way to get some feedback and gauge interest in the final product, and the sales of that half a novel exploded into millions of dollars, what would I do? How motivated would I be to continue to work on that novel? Especially after hundreds of impatient fans had already constructed their own endings, and no matter what I did with the rest of the novel, it would look like I was incorporating fan fiction, I might not care much about the project anymore.

    I would probably start on a whole new novel, filled with the confidence that it will do well, no matter what I do with it.

    Or filled with confidence that it doesn't matter HOW it does, you've still got 33 million dollars.

    Point. Once you've got that kind of cash, everything you do becomes a hobby.

    Notch reminds me of the guy in this DirecTV commercial:

    Dang that's a lot of money. I wish I could make a quick game that would make that much.
