Why some fans are battling with Notch over Minecraft changes

Polygon:
"Around the world, millions of people enjoy playing Minecraft, one of the most successful video games of all time.
But an argument has broken out between Mojang, the maker of Minecraft, and the many companies and people which host Minecraft multiplayer servers, and who charge for their services, which include creating game-worlds and play modes based on the game, as well as the sale of in-game items and currency."

This is ridiculous. Companies such as Nintendo Microsoft and Sony don't allow pay to play and they don't get hate. Stop picking on mojang. You make money off minecraft? Really? Go get a job kids.

randomass1713595d ago

Reminds me of Halo on PC back in the day. I once joined a pretty laggy game where some guy was trying to find women to join his personal server. It was actually rather funny. On topic, I can see why this upsets people, but it's Mojang's game and they're free to do whatever they want with it.

AgentSmithPS43595d ago

These 'fans' need to take it down a notch and go make some bad f2p games if they want to rip people off.

LordMaim3595d ago

It isn't a change. The EULA has been very clear from the beginning, and they just scrolled to the bottom and clicked accept without reading it.

elhebbo163595d ago

But its notches fault for not allowing my greedy self to abuse the server and make little kids pay hundreds of dollars! </sarcasm>

Kivespussi3595d ago

It's their game, and like it has been said, they aren't following the rules they agreed on. Notch was nice for letting them do it this long, most companies would've stepped in a long time ago.

Priestwithgun3595d ago

The title is really misleading,fans are happy,server hosts are not

Takwin3595d ago

This will not affect sales nor happiness of Minecraft players.

I teach elementary school and we did a lesson for surveys, rations, and charts, and I of course used video games. There were XBox and PS fanboys and girls, but evenly split. 40/51 had a Wii, more than those two together. 55/51 had a 3DS (some people had more than one).

Everyone played Minecraft. I had no idea the 3DS and Minecraft were so popular. All of them will continue unabated due to these changes.

People that were making money off the game but did not develop it - they won't be happy. Who cares.

shinoff218343d ago

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name43d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno43d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno43d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure43d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.

Nice! Next up, shaders on consoles.

“A new update is improving how mods work for Minecraft Bedrock. Mojang has introduced add-ons to the marketplace.”

“These add-ons can now easily be added to new and existing worlds instead of being tied to a single world.
There are plenty of free and paid add-ons that will let you customize just about anything in your world.”

OtterX62d ago

So RayTracing is no longer locked to the NVIDIA maps? I know there was a workaround, but it will be nice to have easier access to all worlds.
