Whether or not you agree with his decision, having Notch pull away from talks with you creates an instant credibility "situation".
It's also noteable that Notch had been meeting with the Oculus team just two weeks ago[0], was tweeting about them in rather gushing terms[1] and seemed incredibly inspired to work on VR ideas[2].
He is now the personification of the a near universal feeling of betrayal in the community. Will be interesting to see how this develops.
