I say come on and give the guy a break. We seem to have forgotten that Minecraft is the work of one guy. One man can only do so much.

They do realize that Notch isn't updating due to a massive update on October 31st, right?

Or the fact that he's been working on making a legit company to provide better and more frequent updates?

People are incredibly stupid.

The whole idea of cutting off his cash flow, ruining peoples enjoyment and forcing the guy to deal with server, website and costumer issues would somehow make him work harder sets a new low for stupidity. I hope that they are tracked down and charged for their criminal acts.

Or the fact that by DDoSing his server it gives him less time to work on updates because he has to focus on keeping the website running?

I've probably put well over 60 hours into Minecraft already over several weeks. The game is incredibly fun, addictive, and full of possibilities. Any updates are just an awesome bonus. People are getting so incredibly uptight about updates to a ~$15 game that already provides hundreds of more hours of fun than many full-price retail games.

I love how I started out with an original point and everyone else adds another perfectly explanation. Just shows exactly why Notch hasn't been updating the game. I mean, I wish he would hurry up, I've given up Minecraft for now so I'm not bored with it when the Halloween update comes out, but I remain patient, especially when he is promising a massive update and a development team to back up future updates.

But there's a large update in just 10 days :?

And I agree with everyone here, their plan is amazingly stupid. Either none of the DDoS'ers put an inkling of thought into this, or there's some alternative motive.

Personally, I don't buy the whole "we are doing this coz we want updates" BS at all.

They are just being d1cks, that's all. This is 4ch* we are talking about. Yes I know the grp denied it but like i said, they are just trolling.

One man with a few million dollars should be able to hire a small team fit for coding a title such as minecraft. :P Even still, we all need a break sometimes.

This would be the most likely explanation, just jerks doing something "for the lulz". It's too ridiculous otherwise...
