gnawmonThe oldest Minecraft server, MinecraftOnline, is being shut down by Microsoft
benI get why people are having trouble defending them but it’s really not cool that Mojang is pushing to enforce their own personal requirements on self-hosted servers. It’s one thing if it was an official server or hosted on realms or something, but this is just a bit too far in my opinion.
And given the recent pivots by tech companies in the US there’s very little reason to think this same set of rules couldn’t be applied to groups like trans people in the future.
It’s better to push back on this sort of stuff early, instead of waiting for it to personally impact you once it’s already built up momentum.
warmWe can push back on it once it effects an innocent server, which this isn't.
They can still run the server cracked if they really wanted. They just won't be allowed to use Mojang's authentication servers.
But at the end of the day, it's still their IP, they can do what they want and we can choose to play Minecraft or not when that happens.
Try not to choke on the boot.
Ah yes, just regurgitate phrases you have heard.
I couldn't give a shit about Microsoft at all, I hope the company folds. I also couldn't give a shit about a hate harboring Minecraft server, so I'm not going to defend it, even remotely.
So I was just laying out the facts of the situation, they can legally do what they want in this regard, the server owner agreed to this when starting the server in the first place.
Don't just dismiss facts because they don't immediately align with your point of view, that's very dangerous.
