Just spreading awareness about whatever the fuck Mojang thinks they're doing. Given their enforcement of the EULA, or the lack thereof, this probably isn't going to have as huge of an impact, but I think it's still something worth talking about.

Here's an article on dotesports.com if you don't want to visit Twitter.

The Minecraft EULA itself as of 2nd August. I've got the attention span of a rat on cocaine, so if someone could check if Rock solid's points are an accurate summary of the EULA, I'd appreciate that.

I'd really doubt M$ wants to go through with the "extinguish" part of EEE, because Minecraft, and Minecraft merch, prints them money.

Intentionally, anyhow. Whether or not they manage to pull it off via just sheer ineptitude remains to be seen.

I am pretty sure they would prefer to extinguish the Java version of Minecraft, though. Because they earn more money with the bedrock version which has basically a huge item shop.

Realtalk, once Hytale drops I'm probably dropping Minecraft. It's everything I want them to add but without me having 13 years of experience with the game. Something new with QOL and easy modding sounds great.
