      Isn’t Minecraft still mostly original devs though? I thought Microsoft basically paid notch to fuck off and then basically told Mojang to keep doing what they were already doing; as long as papa Microsoft gets their cut, they’re happy kinda thing.

        From what I understand that’s basically the gist of with the exception that the elite developer was transferred over to a new person, the only real conditionals is of course Microsoft has say if they decide to do something they want. Thankfully that has only been in regards to moderation and of course the shitty account management so far,

        their main problem currently is that Community mostly ran off of modding support, and with every big game mechanic change they lose more mods due to people moving on/no longer interested in the game. But considering the game itself is 13 years old now it’s impressive that it’s still going as strong as it is.

      The amount of people upset with the game’s direction has somewhat increased after 1.9’s combat changes and markedly increased after 1.19 was a huge disappointment. No real competitor has emerged, but the amount of people disgruntled with the game has never been higher.
