In the image is a 2012 conversation between Notch / Markus Alexej Persson (Former CEO of Mojang / Creator of Minecraft) and a fan on Twitter (X), talking about how they did not have enough money to buy Minecraft and thought they might at least ask Notch for a free account before considering any unofficial alternatives.

Hatsune Miku created Minecraft actually
This is how I play most games to be honest. I got tired of buying games and them not being as advertised or just not for me.
piracy is a GREAT form of advertisement
There’s that fun story about how minecraftforfree.com, a piracy site where you could play Minecraft in a browser, got taken down after the owner lost to Notch in a game of Scrolls. Also in 2012 ironically enough.
This notch fella sounds like such a nice guy, I’m going to look up more information about him
Respect.
Piracy is a form of advertising, preservation, evaluation and acquisition.
It’s also a crime (in some places), but so is false advertising.
Helps that Minecraft costs like a third of the price of most Video Games these days and you get constant free updates while still having access to old version and countless mods.
Notch da goat
Hatsune Miku said that actually
That’s what I did. A friend of mine gave me a pirated Minecraft 1.5.2 and that how I was introduced to Minecraft.
Been playing many many times and finally bought when 1.14 came. Today I play only modded and I swing between 1.12.2 and 1.20.1
Man what happened to this notch
I keep forgetting that his name isn’t actually Notch for some reason
