Just spreading awareness about whatever the fuck Mojang thinks they’re doing. Given their enforcement of the EULA, or the lack thereof, this probably isn’t going to have as huge of an impact, but I think it’s still something worth talking about.

Here’s an article on dotesports.com if you don’t want to visit Twitter.

The Minecraft EULA itself as of 2nd August. I’ve got the attention span of a rat on cocaine, so if someone could check if Rock solid’s points are an accurate summary of the EULA, I’d appreciate that.

    All companies now are digging own grave for themselves. Reddit, Twitter X, Meta, Google and now Mojang. Interesting times we live in.

      Have any of those other companies you’ve named actually suffered anything?

        Musk has sure as hell set Twitter up to suffer quite a bit. It’s a train wreck in progress, but to the uninformed layman it just looks like Musk fucking shit up with little actual blowback.

        The reality of Twitter is that it’s royally fucked, it’s just taking a while for the debt to build up to the point where it all falls apart. I expect a complete death of the company before November 2025. Just based on the debt load that Musk saddled the company with.

        Reddit showed that they don’t care about their community or their volunteer mods, and lost most of the best moderators. That train wreck is coming, but might take a few years. Their IPO is coming, and they will do something that pisses off the community more when it does. I don’t expect a fast death, or a complete death, but the IPO will definitely hurt more than it will help.

        Meta keeps getting fined by various countries, and keeps plugging along. Their Threads app is not quite taking off, but it doesn’t need to… A shit company that will likely be around for at least another decade. After that, predictions become meaningless.

        Google is trying to do a web DRM to get rid of adblockers. I expect a massive EU fine in the future, and then they will quietly continue being evil. They really shouldn’t have gotten rid of that motto.

        The cynical part of me agrees, but one win that could be achieved is a pervasive anti big tech culture built on a foundation of recent corporate betrayals. The more the tech companies push, the more alienated the customers. Will they keep buying? Probably. Will they stay loyal when other options arise? Probably not.

      It’s the profit imperative biting them in the ass, you can’t have exponential growth in a finite system so expect these megacorps to get more and more desperate (and draconian) as the bottom of the barrel draws ever nearer.

      They are attempting to extract as much wealth as possible before the collapse. I don’t know what they’re planning on doing with money if a collapse happens. Even a partial collapse would cause massive inflation making their dollars worthless if they don’t transfer it out to something else. Unfortunately the Petrodollar exists so it’s likely the collapse of the US dollar would trigger worldwide collapse.
