I think it's a side effect of becoming so well known in a short amount of time.

#4> Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella recently emailed staff saying that if they didn’t support building a more inclusive culture, “your rewards, your career trajectory, and possibly even your employment will be impacted.”
Translation:
"If you keep pointing out we illegally discriminate during hiring and promotion, we'll fire you."
His comment is a jab at the people complaining about actual racism at Microsoft -- a veiled threat meant to appease radicals who throw a tantrum if people don't cater to their bigoted world views, which all call for institutionalized racism to be enacted.
Identity politics, and its manifestations such as "diversity", are merely authoritarian bigotry.
The entire basis of it is a kind of racial and sexual essentialism, one of the most thoroughly debunked kinds of bigoted beliefs. Without a belief in that tribal essentialism, none of what the "diversity" advocates argue for even makes sense.
"Diversity" is bigotry.

#5> “His comments and opinions do not reflect those of Microsoft or Mojang and are not representative of Minecraft.”
Do all the comments and opinions of every other participant in the event reflect those of Microsoft and Mojang?

He's self-made and not afraid to express his opinions even if they aren't politically correct. People like him should be applauded as they are increasingly rare in today's society.

Alternatively, we could not applaud racist assholes.

Do you think the reasons most people don't express opinions like the ones notch has expressed recently is due to a fear of backlash over being considered 'un-PC' as opposed to not actually holding those opinions? This rhetoric plays into a common theme among extremists which is quite dangerous: "Everyone actually thinks the same way I do, they are just afraid to say it".
