As far as I can tell, everyone around him was pushing him to sell, because Minecraft's maintenance is a burden and because he could be set for the rest of his life.
I don't think for a second he needed more money than he already had, or that he thought this would make him happier. And he and ez broke up even before he sold Minecraft anyway, he was never really happy.

I thought he was being a little mean about it. Just my opinion.
I'll concede my final clause absolutely was a bit mean.
In my defence, the tweet about the "great girl" who was afraid of his lifestyle rather annoyed me, but I do understand that money doesn't make for happiness - often quite the opposite - and that it can be hard to form new and trusting relationships when you have a lot in the bank.
