Well, if this new one is going to be closed-source... Then yes, we are at the mercy of Microsoft. We're going to have to deal with the C++ version lock-in, because it's going to be release compiled (and hard to de-compile)
- cptskippy 11y agoBut Minecraft is closed-source. Since when did "written in Java" mean open-source?
- Nullabillity 11y agoIt doesn't, but disassembling Java is peanuts compared to trying to make sense of disassembled C++.
- cptskippy 11y agoSo the argument is that they're making it harder for users to do something they don't support them doing? Do you think Microsoft is actively trying to sabotage the modding community? Or is it just that they failed to take it into consideration?
- Nullabillity 11y agoMy guess would be that they don't care about mods, and that their main motivation was to have an excuse to lock out other OSes.
