Both seasons had a budget of $2.50, this is why he needs $5.00 from us.

Row row?

Here is a bit of a weird question for you Notch, but I hope to get some kind of response;

When the guy who made Infiniminer released his game, he did a few bug fixes and decided that the game couldn't be any more than it was and was already moving onto the next project.

However people decompiled his project and began adding features along with bugfixes almost immediately, his version of the server was quickly redundant and so were most of the default features, at least with the groups of people actively playing it when I was. It got to the point where people have communities centered around their own dramatically different versions of the original game with their own distribution of the game code and assets.

I'm beginning to notice a similar pattern with Minecraft, there is an amazing amount of demand for mods and changes (which is why you are working on a modding API) and the community is outpacing Minecraft's internal development in many ways.

Do you have any thoughts on this phenomenon?
