Markus Persson Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Markus Persson:

Any email that contains the words 'important' or 'urgent' never are, and annoy me to the point of not replying out of principle.

I really wanted to make a dungeon crawler, but this game came out, 'Legend of Grimrock 2,' which was, like, the perfect dungeon crawler. It basically destroyed the genre for me, and no way could I make a game that good in that genre.

Markus Persson

I definitely think 'Minecraft' is a freak thing. There's no way you could replicate it intentionally.

Markus Persson

I already have it, but a good keyboard is invaluable when you spend a lot of time typing. My favorite one is the ancient IBM Model M I have at home.

Partying is not a sane way to spend money, but it's fun. When we were young, we did not have a lot of money at all, so I thought, 'If I ever get rich, I'm not going to become one of those boring rich people who doesn't spend money.'

Markus Persson

I never really had the fun teens of exploring the world because I was sitting at home, learning programming.

Markus Persson

Infinite power just isn't very interesting, no matter what game you're playing. It's much more fun when you have a limited tool set to use against the odds.

Markus Persson

I remember disassembling and putting an old analog alarm clock together. It was a lot of fun figuring out why it still worked with that one spring missing.

Markus Persson

If I had intended for 'Minecraft' to end up on consoles, I wouldn't have developed the game in Java. The decision to port the game to consoles came from a combination of player requests, a desire to play around with the brand on different platforms, and some interesting business deals.

Markus Persson

I think the only way I could make something fun and big is if I don't expect it to be.

Markus Persson

'Minecraft' is to a large degree about having unique experiences that nobody else has had. The levels are randomly generated, and you can build anything you want to build yourself.

Markus Persson

When I was young, we didn't have indie games. We had 'garage developers' or similar terms, who were just small teams making games out of passion.

Markus Persson

PC gaming has always been strong, and I see it surviving for quite a few more years. It will be around for at least as long as people use PCs.

Markus Persson

The speed at which modern CPUs perform computations still blows my mind daily.

Markus Persson

Specifically, my favorite tool in Java is hot code swapping in debug mode, meaning I can edit the code while the game is running and immediately see the results in the running game. This is super great for rapid tweaking.

Markus Persson

Turns out, what I love doing is making games. Not hyping games or trying to sell a lot of copies. I just want to experiment and develop and think and tinker and tweak.

Markus Persson

The only thing I think that is wrong with modern gaming now is the free-to-play stuff on mobile phones. I think it's very cynical and cold and weird.

Markus Persson

Facebook is not a company of grass-roots tech enthusiasts. Facebook is not a game tech company. Facebook has a history of caring about building user numbers, and nothing but building user numbers.

Markus Persson

I've never run a company before, and I don't want to feel like a boss. I just want to turn up and do my work.

Markus Persson

If you build a car, you can only sell it once. If you paint a fence, you only get paid for it once. If you create a piece of software that's essentially free to reproduce, you can keep getting paid over and over perpetually.
