Because of his refusal to code in an interface not made for people with aspergers, Minecraft leeched fans from him. And so instead of stopping his sperg-fest and improving his product he just rails against it.

He has no interest in improving DF as a product, only as a simulation. As long as he is pulling in his $2-4k in donations per month, he doesn't give a shit if you don't like the UI. If he wasn't making ends meet he would be more likely to pull the plug or go part time than alter his grand plan.

Motherfucker is planning on dedicating the next 20 years of his life to DF. DF is his life.
