Just saw this, and didnt see it here.
The minecraft devs have decided that Reddit is no longer a suitable place for their official discussions.
It’s a big deal. Minecraft is a huge community, most of the big YouTubers or Streamers become big because of it or Fortnite.
You also have to remember that it’s Microsoft behind Minecraft, it’s the second GAFAM after Google which is unhappy with the situation.
It’s definitely gonna affect the IPO negatively.
At this point, anyone who thinks Reddit will come out of this smelling like roses is an idiot.
Caroline … you’d need a golden calculator to divide …
It’s also the no 1 best selling video game of all time, by a sizable margin, so it would be a big deal regardless.
Well fuck I’d say that’s kind of a big deal.
Minecraft is why I started using Reddit way back in 2011. Kinda weird to think about.
Hell yeah, that’s a big draw for Minecraft fans to go elsewhere
Thank you Minecraft. I hope other devs do the same
major brands are leaving Reddit
Every day, spez comes closer to his dream of following Daddy Elon’s ‘vision’ for Twitter
Cool, but let’s not pretend Mojang are the good guys.
They added chat moderation on private servers that you host yourself on your own hardware using your own internet.
The entire community was in uproar over it for months and they didn’t care. They deleted all criticism from their sub and continued on like nothing was happening. They refused to answer any questions about it, and uploaded new snapshots that only had ONE change, and that was to break mods that disabled chat moderation.
This was so bad it actually prompted modders to backport all of the 1.19 features to 1.18.
Just thought I’d remind everyone. Mojang is a shit company now that they are owned by Microsoft. They are not the good guys.
for sure. They can do something good in one context, and something that i strongly disagree with in another.
This was so bad it actually prompted modders to backport all of the 1.19 features to 1.18.
This has been a thing for every major modern version. Its faster for a single enterprising dev to backport things than for the entire mod scene to update to a new version. I distinctly remember playing Blackgear’s Caves and Cliffs Backport on 1.16.
There are, however, Forge/Fabric mods that completely remove the reporting system.
This. I stopped playing Minecraft when they tried to force me to enter my real phone number to keep using my account.
MineTest is better anyway. If you miss it, play that instead.
I have to admit that it was a while since I tried any Minecraft-likes, but the last time I tried most of them were pretty bare-bones. Vintage Story is decent, but it’s much more focused on the survival aspect (which makes it a bit tedious) and doesn’t have a lot of content, either.
Maybe I’ll give it a try again.
