I'm trying, but I just don't see any good coming of this. The comments from Mojang seem incredibly naive, everything is going to change.
First people to make money on this will be lawyers. There's going to be a blizzard of copyright takedown notices going out to every unlicensed (most all) Minecraft merchandise and spinoffs. The offline fan ecosystem is going to get slaughtered.
Mostly I'm just sad for all the kids. They love Minecraft, and this won't end well.
- zanny 12y agoHopefully enough people wake up and realize that projects like Minetest exist to pivot to. Yeah, you have to redo a lot of work (since it was all in Java anyway) but the core game is there, and it is much healthier to do it all open source and open collaboration.
- cLeEOGPw 12y agoSame thing was said when Facebook acquired Oculus Rift. We have yet to see the horrible "downfall" and "messing around" with Oculus by Facebook. I think sometimes people are exaggerating the perceived damage acquisitions cause.
