These attackers are nothing more than jerks with a self-entitlement complex. All they care about is getting stuff for free. Notch has NO LEGAL OBLIGATION to give free updates at a regular interval. When you buy Minecraft, as I have done, you buy the game as is, with the promise that any updates (IF ANY) will be free. He doesn't specify when he will update it, how often he will update it, or what the updates are about.
This attack is nothing more than the ultimate hissy fit from man-children who are emotionally deficient, even if they are technically proficient (although a DDOS isn't extremely hard to pull off). They are sabotaging themselves, and their stated "goal".
Simply put, they're just a bunch of spoiled whiny brats. But who cares? These sorts of people fail miserably in real life, and are far, far, far, far, far too cowardly to ever confront Notch face to face. No, these hackers hide behind their computer screen, whilst simultaneously smearing bacon grease all over the obese pimply faces, laughing at their supposed "triumph", when the fact is that Notch will make more money and be far more successful than these hackers will EVER BE.
Or this whole thing is nothing more than attack on Notch by his competitors. That is also a possibility.
If you think minecraft isn't giving you enough free updates, DEAL WITH IT. Simply don't play Minecraft and don't recommend it. But they shoudln't try to wreck the whole thing just because they're immature brats.
