Still blocked for me. I agree with thepumpkin1979: I hit that paywall every single time. Can we have a rule against posting links with paywalls? WSJ and other websites can either disable it for HN or we don't link to these websites at all.

Would this mean they'd split the 2 billions by themselves? ... wow. I wonder how do the employees feel about this.
This is interesting given that Mojang doesn't actually own the Minecraft IP, they license it from Notch who owns it (I believe) exclusively, that's how he's able to pull in hundreds of millions per year while Mojang makes a much smaller amount. Notch previously said he's had an offer in the $2bn region and turned it down[1] so this seems /weird/, that said anything is possible! [1] https://twitter.com/notch/status/44…
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
