It seems that Markus "Notch" Persson has either cancelled his far-flung futuristic space strategy game 0x10c - or thinks it's the most gangstah game ever.
The developer tweeted, "It was all good just a week ago, game devs feel themselves, then 0x10c dropped, game devs kill themselves" adding the hashtag "#gangstadev".
He then added a few minutes later cryptically, "No, it hasn't dropped yet, but neither had watch the throne when they recorded that line. Confidence! =D"
Notch had posted two weeks ago that he might have to start over on 0x10c because it was "not fun".

There are quite a few big name titles coming in 2013 that we have already talked about, but there are also a lot of promising and rather no-name games coming this year that you might have never heard about"
I think at this point, it will have to be pretty promising with all the FPS games that have flooded the market.
With the exception of 'You Sir, Are being hunted" (which doesn't look particularly interesting IMO) and "0x10c" the other three games look like pretty standard fair shooters. Not terribly impressed by them.
"Markus “Notch” Persson, the mind behind Minecraft, has revealed that his new project, 0x10c, will not be shown this weekend at Minecon in Paris, France."
StickSkills said, "Since our staff is responsible for covering pretty much everything related to the video game industry on a daily basis, it can be tough to post all the stories we think our readers would like to see. Videos go unwatched, new release dates are missed and silly quotes just float away without ever being heard. So, instead of ignoring the news that slipped through the cracks each week, we decided to put it all in one convenient place! This week, we take a look at the return of ToeJam and Earl, check out some new footage from the upcoming Lost Planet 3 and get introduced to a few new characters in Far Cry 3."
Lol that's why I like the dude... If something in the game isn't fun, he just starts over.
I've never been a fan of Notch.
