I'm really impressed that they didn't have a go back at Notch; they could have been all persecuted and angry and thrown stuff back at him, and I bet when they first heard what he'd been saying about them, that was exactly what they felt like doing.
I guess with the poor organisation of the event there was a lot of confusion and stress, and rumours can escalate a lot. I'm quite surprised to hear that they only met Notch on stage; regardless of all else, it's a shame he didn't make more of an effort to meet them before condemning them for not giving more time to their fans.
I first heard about Minecraft through the Yogscast, but I wouldn't say they were the soul reason I bought it, though they showed me the potential of the game and their videos were what made me finally make up my mind. But the OWF server, a chance to get to know my friends on OWF better, was another of my biggest influences.
