I tried it. It’s pretty bland, I already said that. You are allowed to enjoy it, that was just my opinion. No need to get defensive.

(They forgot we used to change what our character looks like for free)

One look at the menus says otherwise, but I’d rather not continue the conversation anyway.

Exactly! A good example of consumer complacency!

Skins and such that cost as much as the game itself. The industry has gone crazy and consumers keep sucking it up.

Out of what? Like 5 extraction shooters? I don’t get the popularity, it’s pretty damn bland and shoves MTX in your face like crazy, but I have been pretty out of touch with the mainstream market for a while now.

Ah yes, just regurgitate phrases you have heard.

I couldn’t give a shit about Microsoft at all, I hope the company folds. I also couldn’t give a shit about a hate harboring Minecraft server, so I’m not going to defend it, even remotely.

So I was just laying out the facts of the situation, they can legally do what they want in this regard, the server owner agreed to this when starting the server in the first place.

Don’t just dismiss facts because they don’t immediately align with your point of view, that’s very dangerous.

Oh no. Affinity was a good paid alternative to the adobe shite, now this is going to turn down a subscription route after they get people hooked, isnt it?

We can push back on it once it effects an innocent server, which this isn’t.

They can still run the server cracked if they really wanted. They just won’t be allowed to use Mojang’s authentication servers.

But at the end of the day, it’s still their IP, they can do what they want and we can choose to play Minecraft or not when that happens.

I don’t think anywhere that allows racial slurs is a good place to exist and Mojang have every right to close that shit down. I don’t know why anyone would be okay with hate just being allowed, it’s just pointless and does nothing for humanity. Whether or not you think it’s a “nazi breeding ground”, hate just being an open thing IS going to breed more hate. If everyone is just going to ignore someone who is hateful (they are not going to), then just ban them anyway?

I don’t need to read logs, I’ve already heard all I need to know. I hope the server changes its rules, or gets promptly closed.

Yeah, well in that case, don’t even give them the 7 days, just immediately close that shit down.

Any examples of what Mojang are talking about? There’s free speech and then there’s hate speech. If the latter is the problem, then I can understand their position and desire to take the server offline.

I imagine, from the constant mention of free speech, that the server is just rampant with hate and slurs more than anything. Which in that case, fuck them, take the server down.

Then your analogy makes even less sense lmao I see you are that type of person, so I wont discuss anymore. Good luck out there.

What kind of bat shit crazy analogy is that? …but I’m pretty confident the people killed in the holocaust would rather guns never existed.

There’s literally analog sticks right there?

The only competitor I could see YouTube getting is if Twitch decided to chase that route. The only companies with the global infrastructure required for a service as fast as YouTube’s are Amazon, Microsoft (and Google).

Microsoft gave up on Mixer, so I don’t see them ever trying to take on YouTube. Amazon have Twitch, which as mentioned, could try to take on YouTube. But even with owning their own servers and just running them at cost, it would be a massive undertaking and investment.

There’s a tremendous amount of work to do, that these companies are not going to throw money at for decades just to compete for YouTube’s profit margins, which apparently aren’t that big (if they even exist).

Sites can exist alongside YouTube, We see a lot of smaller video hosting sites, like Dailymotion, but something would have to go seriously wrong at YouTube for any of them to grow meaningfully and become actual competitors.

I’d like a competitor as much as anybody, but I’m just being realistic here. Don’t underestimate the size of YouTube.

I dont think anyone will rival youtube, pornhubs infrastructure is no where near youtubes, like at all.

It’s not like its going to help anyway. If you defend yourself from the crazies, ICE, whatever, you are just going to get shot anyway by someone else. They want that excuse. Being armed only really matters if a civil war breaks out. Its a crazy dynamic, which is why guns should be banned in the first place.

By putting holes in to save on material? Checks out I guess.

I’d rather Blam! be doing both.
