awful game for little kids

I dont get the market strategy. Minecraft is fun, but the programmers and infrastructure will never be worth 2 billion. It's slow, java based mess, with a great strategy on procedural generated content. It started a saturated pay to beta test mess that has pretty much ruined Steam. It took a long time for minecraft to get done. The only other thing from mojang is...a card game?

Yugioh is not worth 2 billion.

This would pretty much only affect vanilla MC anyways right? Who the hell is still playing vanilla MC? I don't even bother updating that shit. The main issue will be the little deal that Notch and co made allowing people to finance their servers I am sure MS will have a problem with that and will try to create their own paid for servers for multiplayer MC which could be good or bad depending on a few factors. Most likely more stable servers but at a financial cost to players.

It's not about the java. It's about the game mechanics, trademarks, IP, and voxel engine which can be recoded to use modern C based or assembly optimized video GPU architecture.

It is also about stopping smaller developers from publishing a minecraft like game.

But you had me on ignore. So of course you didn't see any of this, which I illustrated before.

Just for example, what is beutiful about one human owning more than another human. Abstract that one more level. If there's a bunch of monkeys and one monkey has all the bannanas and the other monkeys must use sex/money to get banannas, what is beutiful about that.

What, other than human nature gives one human the right to own more than another human or something over another human.

What idea was ever original.

And what do we stand to gain for supporting this system and Microsoft?

There are many beutiful and wonderful things that existed prior to capitalism, or socialism, because really. Capitalism is just socialism for the rich and privileged and entitled dynastic.

you sound like a poor liberal

Slave contracts should hold up in court. But they don't.
