Minecraft is 10 years old on 17 May, and to celebrate Microsoft is planning a series of celebrations, including a special event in Stockholm on its birthday. But its creator is not invited.
Marcus Persson sold Minecraft, and developer Mojang, to Microsoft for $2.5 billion back in 2014, and since then has become most famous for making offensive remarks about race, gender, and sexuality on Twitter.
He quickly became an embarrassment to Microsoft and earlier in the year they removed his name from everything except the credits, and now it seems he wont be mentioned during the anniversary either.
According to Variety, Microsoft will not be inviting him because, His comments and opinions do not reflect those of Microsoft or Mojang and are not representative of Minecraft.
