I might be wrong about what I said, but modifying the game to add the splash back in probably wouldn't be too hard to do yourself.
Adding a regular splash might be pretty easy, but one that appears only on a certain day every year? That would probably be a lot harder. And even if it is easy, why go to all that trouble for one splash text?
First, the creator should always be remembered. Even if they have nothing to do with it anymore, even if they have done less to the game, they should still be remembered.
Second, Notch sold the game because he couldn't take the hate he got from the community after he did what he thought was right by adding a non-enforced EULA to servers(the current Mojangsters actually enforced this later, and then unenforced it afterwards because of the hate). If you can't sympathize with this you need to lose some ego and look up depression.
There is a high probability Notch asked that his name was removed, but if not, removing it was a pretty jerk move on Mojang's part.
(well one of many stupid moves on their part at least)
Also I'm a tad biased because my birthday is on June first. Doesn't change my points, but is the main reason I care.

Notch made the game and sold it, I agree he should be honered
This brings up multiple points:
1. Jeb did more to minecraft than notch! Instead of saying "Thank Notch" say "Thank Jeb"
2. They should add a feature to where you when it's your birthday awesomeness happens (I will post a thread to this here in like 10 seconds)

all the devs should be honored, not just Notch

I wouldn't mind to see this in game. Notch made it, after all. Support!🐛
What is it? It's magic...
