fellas, Mojang (piss be upon them) are finally making me switch to a Microsoft account

@graf I guess I just won't have a minecraft account anymore.

@lanodan @graf they're also making the alt launchers get personalized API keys. yay gatekeeping.

@icedquinn @graf @lanodan Remember when Notch said he was going to open source the game once he was done with it?

@xianc78 @graf @lanodan and then he sold it for 3bil dollarmonies

tbh I don't blame him for that amount of money.

@coin @icedquinn @xianc78 @graf
I wouldn't either.
I'm not sure how the hell Minecraft managed to work so well on the financial side of things but I could agree with it being fair. (unlike things like Call of Duty where it's treating people like cash cows)

@lanodan notch tripped paypal's fraud system at first because lol peasants aren't supposed to be able to make money.

at one point he was still a multimillionaire and was just giving a lot of it as bonuses to mojang employees.

@lanodan @coin @graf @xianc78 i've heard unverifiable reports that he regrets it though. he went from cool minecraft guy to nobody in one cheque and nobody has ever given a shit about him again.

@icedquinn @coin @graf @lanodan I think his "politically incorrect" Tweets had damaged his reputation more. He was banned from Minecraft's 10th anniversary party just for saying that it's okay to be white.

I thought it was over the horse urine pill consumers.

@PhenomX6 @coin @icedquinn @graf @lanodan Never heard of that.

@xianc78
@coin @icedquinn @graf @lanodan
Notch apparently was posting ultra toxic tweets like "only biological women are women" etc and that's what really kicked things off iirc.

As for the horse piss part it's from the controversy around premarin and horses.

@PhenomX6 @xianc78 @coin @graf @lanodan the irony of the terf debate is a lot of old societies tolerated transwomen while still referring to them as third-type genders.

this goes all the way back to ancient mystics.

@icedquinn
@coin @xianc78 @graf @lanodan
Tbh the worst thing to happen to the trans movement was the plural craze and everyone self diagnosing themselves in that circle

@PhenomX6 it's always been a self diagnosis
