We’re Suing Minecraft in a Class Action Lawsuit

  Going to copy my post over from the original for anyone wondering why:

  I watched a few minutes of it and finally got to it… If I got it right, the guy suing them wanted to make a mod with guns. Mojang said no and got it shut down. He’s suing because he believes a company shouldn’t have any say over how users might modify their games.

    Since they need permission, I can only assume they want to sell their mod on the bedrock marketplace. I thought Microsoft controlled that.

      there’s 11 pages of results if you search “gun” through Modrinth, you’re absolutely correct

      the marketplace is “curated” mods, if the guy wants to make paid mods that go against the “curation” he’s gotta make a patreon or something, and handle his own marketing for it

    He could install Luanti and mod to his heart’s content.

      I’d say he’s fighting to keep what was legally promised to him in the contract provided to customers.

      Yeah, you can install multiple gun mods right from the menu.

    Isnt it like, over a decade too late for mojang to complain about a gun mod in minecraft?

      Nobody can stop you from making a Java Edition mod. The only thing you can’t do is sell it.

    Probably why he wanted to sue in the first place but the actual lawsuit is over deleting minecraft accounts that didn’t migrate to Microsoft accounts. That restriction was not present in the original TOS, and seems to be illegal to change without the user accepting a new TOS (that isn’t forced under threat of deleting what you own).

  Why can’t children simply have something they enjoy without some fuckards trying to ruin it?

  Like minecraft doesn’t need guns. Or blood. Or pedos. They got Roblox for that.

    We’re talking about a modder making something as a hobby/passion project, not some suit trying to push that to everyone.

  Lmao, the way the video is cut made it impossible to watch, it’s so bad. Why cut every pause between Words, that is probably a lot of work to make the video shitier.

    Almost all YouTubers do it, especially video essayists and vloggers. I think they’re cutting out anytime they pause or say “um” to keep the video going so there’s not a lot of bullshit.

    But who actually knows, I’m just guessing.

      I only appreciate this because I hate watching videos instead of reading texts for subjects like this. It’s so much slower.

  This is awful and stupid. Godspeed, plaintiffs.
