Oh gosh, they bought a computer game company and they don't want to pay to support existing customers? They don't want to maintain accounts that represent HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of hours of creativity, a long-time faithful user fanbase, because they now feel it's miserable unrewarding janitorial work?
It's MINECRAFT! Do you even know what people do on Minecraft? It's not saving progress we're talking about here. It's destroying an ARCHIVE. It's a life some kid has lived in there.
You make it sound like it's perfectly reasonable to ditch this community because it's an expense and an inconvenience. Get lost with your Microsoft defense. They don't need you. They don't give a shit.
Gee whiz, you sure are mad about a person explaining reality to you
This is becoming the norm here unfortunately...
I think they're a very vocal, but disagreed with, minority. I think some people here think all of Lemmy is unwaveringly anti-corporation and anti-capitalist.
I'd consider myself mostly anti-corporation and mostly anti-capitalist, but I also understand that not everything every corporation does is out of some desire to commit the worst thing possible on mankind (e.g. retiring old authentication servers that they've kept running for years while warning people that it'd eventually be cut off).
Anyway, Lemmy hates these 5 Cs (in no particular order): -Corporations
-CEOs (in particular Elon Musk and Spez)
-Conservative politics of any kind
-Capitalism
-Chromium browsers, even the privacy-oriented spinoffs.
