    Well, RIP Minecraft. Probably worth getting backups of your favorite versions.

        Tbh not sure i agree. Started a lore-playing server with friends in 2012. It grew to over 200 unique players and rich DnD style growing history. Minecraft entered its dark period after the purchase but in the last few years has given players plenty of steady updates that are bringing us back and keeping our lore playing server thriving.

        Ive seen more innovations in Minecraft in 5 years than I’ve seen in pokemon in 20, to put it into perspective. Love both series.

        I only play mod packs like Reminiscence or Matcha Flavoured. I can’t handle how Vanilla is tall systems that are a mile wide and an inch deep

    When you shoot yourself in the foot you are supposed to use a pistol, not a mini gun

    Well, I still play on 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. Nothing that’s happened in the last 5 years of Minecraft “development” has mattered to me.

    Shame about how Mojang was bankrupted tho

      Hytale is shit, really, it already has some paid stuff (and passes i think?) Hypixel is generally very shitty anyway, it’s basically going from the almost sinked ship to the ship that is about to sink

    Last two paragraphs are the only thing of value in that whole article:

    If you’re somewhat cynical of this move, I don’t blame you. This certainly looks like Microsoft’s targeted someone who’s more concerned about user retention, advertising, and monetization than community moderation and access.

    Minecraft is a juggernaut that’s resisted many of the more concerning practices you can find in something like Roblox. There’s no explicit suggestion Microsoft wants to push that direction, but this changeover leaves the possibility open. We’ll see what the future holds

    Great. Microslop doing this while announcing they’ll be making movies. With how competent they are, brace yourself for the movie “Mein Kampf.”
