"Beloved Minecraft character birch tree"

Unomelon, the developer of Minecraft-inspired sandbox game Allumeria, says a DMCA from Microsoft, evidently related to Minecraft, got the game removed from Steam.

“The Allumeria Steam page is currently down because Microsoft has filed a false DMCA claim on it,” Unomelon said on Bluesky on Tuesday. “They sent an email earlier today claiming that this screenshot infringes on their copyright. I am taking a moment to figure out what my path is going forward, will update soon.”

The screenshot in question (above) is a simple wide shot of a forest filled with birch trees, what look to be oak trees with green and autumnal leaves, and a few pumpkins and weeds checkering the grassy dirt. There are definitely some similarities to Minecraft; if you told me this was a screenshot of a Minecraft mod, I’d probably believe you, but that’s true of many voxel-based games, including Hytale.

Just because people say stupid shit doesn’t mean we should ignore it. I personally know people who ignored Terraria specifically because of that stupid comparison. Some of those people ended up enjoying Terraria after giving it a chance. I think such stupid arguments deserve pushback because they just end up hurting the game they’re about.

Actually I think it’s the people who present their ill informed opinion that others listen to. If they never made their poor opinion those “sheep” wouldn’t get the wrong opinion.

Because when their opinion can’t handle the criticism it has to be false. Now either say something relevant or fuck off, I’m done being nice to you.
