Minecraft's Mob Votes have come to an end, being retired in a recent Mojang article, and its history makes the reason for this clear.
Playing Minecraft splitscreen on the Steam Deck is possible now, thanks to this script that automates everything for you.
Generative AI is a controversial topic, and Microsoft seems to have found that Minecraft is the perfect Trojan Horse to get children on board.
I understand if this tool aids children in Minecraft development. However, I believe that substituting human workers with AI and reducing the creative input of developers, artists, and other professionals is detrimental. It also results in content that lacks a certain human touch.
Its getting more and more dystopian lolz. Just wait til the robots are more commonplace, everyone will be replaced. Hey I'd be fine with it if it means everything in life will be free. Cause that's the goal right? The end of capitalism? Bettering society for the sake of bettering the world? By ending human labor? And allowing us all to live rent free and enjoy all the comforts that this amazing technology will bring? Right? Cause if we're all gonna end up jobless and homeless then wtf is the point?
Gotta start em young is the plan here…
Maybe we should relook the whole capitalism thing 😅
People think the film industry is derivative and out of ideas these days, and they're right for the most part, imagine how it would be with creativity handed over to AI. Braindead, basically. Same for gaming.
In any creative endeavour like films, gaming, art, it needs nipping in the bud and used appropriately, not being embraced.
Not everything needs to go free-to-play!
I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of money Minecraft makes these days is from DLC, so going f2p would make a lot of sense. But given how cheap the game actually is ($30 for consoles/PC and $7 on mobile) I don't think it would make that much of diference.
Funny how they and their parent company have different views on subscription-based delivery.
Wow so they finally realized it was a stupid idea to make fans vote to just keep a part of something instead of releasing everything? But it seems it was worse than I thought, we were in fact voting for something that they too had no idea wtf its purpose was, I've asked before and I'll always ask again, just WTF does the devs at Mojang do all year long? Every time there's a new content update it's just like some stupid animal, a new biome and a new mob and everyone just claps and cheers.
Can you imagine if No Man's Sky had a new update that brought 10,000 new ships and planet varieties and then they were like "Oh but YOU can help US SHAPE THIS GAME by voting for just ONE new planet and ship! But oh, we don't know what the ship or planet is going to be like. so you're really not voting for anything, just the IDEA of it!". That's what Minecraft Mob votes has been apparently.
