Microsoft has removed all reference to Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson from the game.
Twitter user decrepitlab (https://twitter.com/decrepitlab/status/1111027619888316417) noticed the quotes "Made by Notch!" and "The Work of Notch!" have been scrubbed from the game as part of the latest patch (confirmed by PC Gamer (https://www.pcgamer.com/latest-minecraft-update-quietly-scrubs-references-to-notch/)).
Persson sold Mojang -- along with all Minecraft ownership rights -- to Microsoft in 2014 for $2.5 billion. During a Q&A after the deal, a Mojang reprsentative said Persson didn't "want the responsibility of owning a company of such global significance."
In the subsequent years Persson has become both prolific and controversial on Twitter, offering up such gems (https://twitter.com/notch/status/1108132684738420737) as: "I'd rather be a fascist **** than have a feminine dick."
