  • Yeah fun fact I actually looked this up a few days ago in the wayback machine because I own a beta account. Back then it was just Notch selling the game and the “agreement” if you can call it that on the site basically just said “you own the game forever, no drm”.

    I’m not a lawyer or anything but I suspect that unless they somehow tricked users of old mojang account to agree to Microsoft TOS after the purchase of Mojang what Microsoft did may be very legally questionable. But the main issue is who is gonna sue them over 20 bucks. They know they can get away with it

    It’s not always that simple and I also don’t want to do the testing and support that requires. I’m not gonna set up a windows vm and 5 different Linux vms and get a Mac to build and test for every platform. If you want to use my software you’re welcome to do so but unless you’re paying me I don’t see why I should provide a service that is just a pain in the ass for me. Open sourcing the code alone is already a commitment that not everyone is willing to do as that requires documentation, issue tracking, community support and much more. I build stuff that I want to use and am interested in and as a thank you to the OSS community also share that work but that does not include end user support
