People don’t even want you to play a video game in private now.
"Gibbons cut in: “They’re illegal. They are not in any way affiliated with Microsoft. Microsoft, for Minecraft, has gotten a lot of criticism because of those community servers not employing the same safety standards that Microsoft does on their Minecraft servers.”
Yes. This is a classic case of a large company buying an open source product that was specifically designed to get children to be creative and build their own worlds and then deciding that such usage is illegal unless you pay loads of money.
A perfect snapshot of enshitification.
But that didn’t even happen. Microsoft still specifically enables (let alone allows) running private servers. The ESA is just lying.
Minecraft was never open source.
Yeah, I was wrong. It was available free early on when it was pre-release.
