Not all heroes wear capes
But the Minecraft Devs probably do anyway
This is the death by a thousand cuts Reddit needs.
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 …
Note that the subreddit will not disappear. All this means is that the actual Minecraft devs will no longer be using it for official announcements / collect feedback (that's why the "thanks for the feedback"). Instead now they ask people to use the existing feedback channels.
It might affect the IPO if this happens more generally or causes a trend, but I don't think it's such a big deal. It's not like they are sunsetting the subreddit. And even if they did, the reddit admins can simply mark the channel as abandoned and allow for new mods to take it over. So the community there will most likely continue as it was. I bet most people didn't even know the official devs were there.
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.
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.
How is this related though
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.
Give us your first born child or we won't let you use what you paid us for!
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.
major brands are leaving Reddit
Every day, spez comes closer to his dream of following Daddy Elon’s ‘vision’ for Twitter
- Destroy major company - Check, done.
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
Well yeah. I mean, it's barely usable and definitely not the same vibe with a bunch of knock off subs in r/all and Instagram like posts.
Who knew it would go to shit so fast when you piss off the content creators, the foundation of your platform?
FYI, imgur specially blocks viewing images when used with more strict privacy settings on Firefox. It even loads the title bar, but then purposefully blocks everything with a gray screen. A better image host would be appreciated!
What is a good alternative compatible with lemmy? New to fediverse here
Thank you Minecraft. I hope other devs do the same
There's a typo in your title. You can edit post titles on Lemmy :)
Big if true
