It doesn’t matter who is speaking out. The ESA is EVIL and Illegal. for calling out PRIVATE servers.
This is not about Notch or private citizens. This is about MS once again *fucking it all *up.
It matters in the sense of popularity, which is important if you want bring a message out. His voice matters because lot of people will listen, as he is not a nobody to Minecraft. Why would most people listen to me or you? In that sense it makes sense to “use” him to get the message to the people.
Why would most people listen to me or you
idea: build a reputation such that people listen to you. if not online, in person.
That’s the point.
Nothing “borderline” about it.
It’s not evil, it’s plain stupid, why would I ever play Minecraft with my friends now if we can’t control the lobby?!
I’d separate the artist from the art and let him have it… but he sold the game and all his rights to it for an obscene amount of money. So the legality of private minecraft servers isn’t really his to speak on any more.
Also, he does seem to be a fairly shit human being. The sort of shut in, obese, fedora wearing idiot who buys in to manosphere blogs and right wing rhetoric to ease his general sense of worthlessness who gives all male nerds a bad name.
It happens. Some great artists… actually a whole lot of great artists are also shitty people. Narcissists, psychopaths, awful people skills, whatever. I try to separate the art, so I can appreciate and enjoy it for what it is even if I can’t stand the artist. But in this dude’s case he made billions of dollars selling his one game. Billions. He was outbidding celebrities on mansions and shit.
If global name recognition for how successful your game was and billions of dollars aren’t enough to take case of those limp dick pudgy boy self loathing and worthlessness to keep him from being a racist/sexist/phobe/ist/hater online… and if he wasn’t smart enough to realize that ruining his name and rep just to be an asshole punching down was a bad plan… and couldn’t be bothered to spend some of that fortune on therapy and drugs so he could find his zen… he a bitch.
Definitely jealous on that “make one game, make billions of monies” part though. Prolly why he gets judged harder. But he deserves it. The world’s biggest insane success story billionaire shouldn’t be shitting on the downtrodden. But they all seem to love it.
We should kill them. Globally. .05% of the world’s population holds over 26% of the wealth. Just an idea.
