“everyone who disagrees with me is shilling” is not a reasonable thing to say.
I get that you’re frustrated by reading things you don’t like, but that argument above is the mentality of a child, which you presumably are not, given our discussion.
Minecraft is making shitloads of money. It’s not a purely business decision. That’s absurd.
I’m not saying you’re a shill because you disagree with me, I’m saying you’re a shill because you’re repeating the same excuses game publishers make when they take away features in a profiteering manner. It’s like Capcom claiming that mods will confuse players and cause “reputational damage” and offence to “public order and morals”. It’s pure bullshit.
Why are you bringing up Minecraft? That game has always had user servers.
I challenge you to explain, with recent examples, how user servers are objectively worse than official ones.

Because it is the most popular game using user servers, and also makes a lot of money, punching holes in your claim that centralized server hosting is entirely profit-driven.

Consider the possibility that I agree with them.

This has never been a thing I’ve said. Again, we are discussing history.
Minecraft doesn’t only have centralised servers, it also has user servers. It’s a poor example.
We’re not talking about history, we’re talking about user servers. You said user servers were taken away because they were crap in the 90s, I pointed out they were incredibly popular in the 00s - before they were taken away.
Your statement is wrong. Your telling of history is wrong, you’ve mixed up your dates.
Edit: Apologues for all the double posts, I keep getting timeout errors. I thought it was just my poor signal, but apparently it isn’t that as ym signal is fine now. Yay v0.19 lemmy!

Way to build a scarecrow argument.

This is why I brought Minecraft up lol
I don’t think you’re following this discussion so let’s just let it go.
No worries on the double posts. Happens to me all the time too.
