Minecraft creator weighs in on Stop Killing Games debate

The survival of online games has been a hot topic of conversation over the last week, following the shutdown of online servers and discontinuation of support for several different titles. And it looks like Minecraft creator Markus 'Notch' Persson is the latest to weigh in. Critiquing the trend of developers and publishers selling game licenses rather than full ownership, he says that if buying a game isn't considered to be a proper purchase, "then pirating them is not theft."
