TLDR: Mojang is is breaking the law by changing EULA terms without informing anyone while claiming stuff that is written down on their end breaks the EULA without proof of the text that makes it banned, that making it a one sided contract. They also are allowing stuff on the market place which the EULA already bans.
Providing an actually useful summary instead of more click bait would be preferred.
As far as I can tell, unfair terms in their EULA which are illegal in some places, and silently changing the terms of the EULA after the fact without informing anyone. Removal of content/mods under the new terms that they deemed they “didnt like” it because it had guns while putting guns in their own shop. Probably a number of other things.
I believe there’s also the fact that they flat out ban the selling of mods, but “add-ons” that do the exact same thing can be sold through their store.
Interesting. Thanks!
They have also have been allowing pay to win servers in the marketplace loot boxes and all while it being against their own terms.
My bad I fixed the TLDR to be more specific. cheers.
Appreciated.
they have been breaking the GDPR for years but it seems nobody cares. data mining is still an opt-out setting
I could have sworn they removed it and replaced it with opt in but this is worse. https://minecraft.wiki/w/Telemetry It says they removed it in snapshot 18w21a to comply with the GDPR but re-added it in snapshot 21w38a and since then.
all jira tickets regarding it has also been closed without a (real) response
Stupid spammer
Spammer? Their lasts two posts were 2 weeks ago and 1 month ago. What the fuck are you talking about?
I’ve seen the video, he wants to sue but I’m not sure the process has started yet.
I don’t know, but he seems to have actual contract breaches to sue over, a real stake in it as a mod developer. Mojang is trying to just force out every mod with a weapon more historically recent than the crossbow.
Ultimately I think this is going to be another case of gamers voluntarily ignoring overreach and allowing corporate complete sovereignty over the software. Just like the Ubisoft game deletion thing, “StopKillingGames”. Gamers just don’t want to get in the way of Bobby, Phil and Guillemot.
