Notch had really similar advice in the Minecraft movie. The interview asks him for advice for aspiring game devs, and he responds in a wonderful deadpan: "don't follow any advice" (paraphrased)

Although, interestingly, the creation and growth of mine craft fit the author's advice pretty closely (untraditional marketing, huge idea, just release it)

Edit: Here's the link to Notch's advice - http://youtu.be/ySRgVo1X_18?t=1h20m36s "Do you have any words of advice for people out there" "The best advice I can give anyone is 'don't listen to advice'"
