The Java and Bedrock edition came bundled together for me. Maybe theres a way to redeem it somewhere other than the store, but I am still pretty sure its been the way I described ever since Minecraft was purchased by Microsoft.

I could be mistaken but I’m 90% sure the website redirects you to buy it on the Microsoft Store, which is also how it will be installed and launched.

To add to this, it’s exclusively available on the Microsoft Store, which has gotten so bad lately that I refused the terms on their most recent update and haven’t had it installed on any machines since.

It is, though. It’s one thing for some random artist to condemn the current admin, a totally different thing for a massive military contractor to. That is a different standard.

If Trump made himself an AI Trump Mickey Mouse video and somebody specifically asked reanimated Walt Disney for comment, that would be shocking. If a similar circumstance happened to Boeing or Northrop Grumman, then… No shit no comment.

Yes my entire point is that what they’re doing makes sense. It would actually be strange if the did anything differently given their position.

We do have to hold Microsoft to a very slightly different standard, because they’re a Military Contractor. They’re not going to risk hundreds of billions of dollars to take a stance and make a statement. In that sense, this should not surprise anybody.

KSP2 was bad? I guess I haven’t heard anything about it, lately.

Ah nah that’s just because I make it my mission to piss off tankies. You’ll see downvotes on all kinds of comments like “Human Rights should be upheld”, “Cake is always welcome”, or “Google shouldn’t own an advertisement monopoly” not because they oppose the message but because they regularly go through my comment history. (And tankies also do kind of oppose those messages sometimes).

And all the advertising will show the game next to a canvas bag.

There was a petition for a Dark Cloud 3 a while back, apparently the creators were hip to the idea.

Dark Cloud

Dark Cloud 2

I don’t like it actually but I have over 5k hours in Dota 2.

It would be so hilarious to see historians refer to the market shift as “The Great Microsoft Recall” as like a literal recall in addition to the name of the feature.

Valve, on the other hand, should be sueing if the Mastercard statement proves false and it was in fact their policies forcing the Steam and Itch io takedowns.

Visa and Mastercard are based in the US, though.

TBH I kind of blame the state of US education on this one.

>Businessman read book about make money: spend less while make more.
>Businessman make employees do more tasks, higher productivity
>Businessman hire robot contractor to do job of employees
>Businessman layoff staff, condense departments, liquidate many assets
>Businessman very tech saavy, invest in only hottest new thingamijig
>Businessman hire firm to prevent unionization
>Businessman products not selling anymore?!
>Businessman can’t fill new positions?! Nobody want to work!
>Businessman initiate bankruptcy filing, ask courts to delay so businessman can earn 300 Million USD bonus if turn situation around.
>Businessman am smart, read only the best book, follow to letter.

I’m sure this is no coincidence that cbristofascists are in control of all the top branches of US Government.

Quick! Everybody grab copies of the furry titles and the Rick and Morty incest game!

Mostly Joking, I hope these games figure out how to run on Newgrounds where I expect them to be very well recieved.

Maybe in other industries but that strategy has never translated well in Gaming.

I’m amazed they’d layoff ESO workers, it’s been a Zenimax cashcow for years.

I’m not assuming anything, I’m saying we should make something happen.

How about we figure out a better way to detect and sort it so I don’t have to waste time making judgements?

No, theres a fucking difference, mate. AI has empowered the worst people to make shit they otherwise couldn’t have, and it has degraded the works of anyone with some level of skill.

A lot of great games get middling reviews, but I’m expected to parse whether or not something contains slop by a glance?

So at the end of the day we all have to go digging through muck. Horrible.

Oooohhh Grooosssssss! It’s gonna fucking overtake the real content so fast, now. jfc, how do we even sort them out if the “creators” don’t follow the disclosure rules?

God forbid anything be due to a loss of consumer rights due to deregulation caused by conservatives. No, instead it must be capitalism. Everything bad is capitalism. The reason China is a dictatorship is because Capitalism. Israeli ethnic cleansing as well as the prior milleniums of holy war? Believe it or not, Capitalism.

You’re like the negative photo of a boomer. “Everything I don’t like is capitalism!”

They might sort of have to do this or risk being cut off, given the loss of US Net Neutrality and the new pro-business-rights administration.

According to the video, officials are not required to disclose what exactly the charges are or who has brought them until the initial investigation is complete under Italian law. At that point, the case is either dismissed or goes to trial. The complaint specifically mentions reproduction of copyrighted material from Nintendo and Sony, but the case may originate from the agency itself.

So for now we don’t actually know the charges or if the trial will procede, but yeah definitely not fair.

But you can reach all the middle buttons without changing grip.

Behold! The perfect controller layout, from the far future:

Honestly, very smart and humble move, he certainly got hit with a ton of bad press for his opposition to the petition and that would have impacted the game studio’s sales.

Honestly I don’t see it as the developers losing anything. They still make the same products, they still sell the same products, and when they’re done with those products forever they have to give hosting capability up to the public.

What are they afraid of? That we won’t play their new games if they can’t shut the old games down?

Never meet your heroes ig

Just threw me for a loop for a moment that it uses the same name and that this page displays links to both.

Also, the games market was brought up a lot by the global pandemic and had to come down eventually.

Whats wrong with PirateSoftware? He runs a ferret rescue which doesn’t claim any tax incentives and he teaches people about security and ethics, I’ve never heard of him having beef with anyone.

Hmmm? The UK isn’t part of the EU anymore so they won’t have much impact lol.

Hmmm, bit curious about the automated enforcement system, but they claim the newly unallowed content already wasn’t allowed before and they’re just changing the wording of the terms.

You know what, he’s right. I’ll go get off my ass to spend the evening running my 2 million dollar quarts mine and then swing by my 875k dollar quarts furnaces, weight seperation, flotation cells, and crystalization facility to create a bunch of semiconductor grade silicon used in solar and electronics production.

OH WAIT! I DON’T HAVE $3M FACILITIES TO RUN! Somebody else is out there doing the work that used to take a hundred men. The world doesn’t need us all doing 12 hour days, the world wouldn’t take us if we even offered.
