On what planet is that a donation? If that's what is called a donation, is purchasing a apple at your local supermarket a donation? People pay money to get goods and services in return. Does donating to help an animal shelter or something give me material goods in return? Usually not, if you get anything, maybe something thanking you or a 10 cent sticker or something.

Exactly.
Guess what, paying money is not free. Getting killed by the OP god kit donators over and over because you won't donate, that is not free. If the alternative of paying makes using the product nearly unusable, it's not free. People who "donate" are paying money for a product, that is not donating, that's a transaction. When I pay a monthly free on a website for no ads so that it doesn't spam me with 30 ads a page, would that be called donating? I think the better would would be "scam" or a "ripoff." -

Come to think of it I'm not sure why companies, instead of not allowing mods altogether just sell and SDK for developers to mod games (or buy a special modable client).
Don't get any ideas, companies.
Companies have already tried and failed that. It's pretty hard to restrict modding, I play games where modding is very alive, and EA is trying to get rid of it to get people to buy DLC. EA has tried to get people from modding for over 12 years, all failures. -

The very title of the article states that minecraft has generated 171 million dollars. You can check how many people have purchased the game on the official minecraft website. The number goes up every day by at least a few hundred, I see tons of new people around every day. To claim that nobody is buying it anymore is just nonsensical. -

1.Your only limit is your imagination!
2.No rules!
3.Nobody can tell you what to do!
Reality:
1.*COUGH* EULA *cough*
2. Uhhhhhhhhhh. There is rules? Terms of use. EULA?!?!?!??!>?!?!?
3. No. Just. No.
When you sign up for an Minecraft account, you are agreeing to the EULA and terms of use. Making money off of Minecraft was never legal from the get-go. For thinking that nobody can tell you what you can't do with a software or game you purchase is simply very naive.
When you purchase a movie, can create a torrent and make couterfits for profit? No? This is also a copyright issue. You cannot take someone's work and make money off it. You are essentially selling access to Mojang's code that you payed for when you purchased the game. That is the defintion of scamming. No going around it.
In posts I keep seeing this strange assumtion that THEY own the game and they can do what they want with it. It might be your server, it might be your hardware, it might be your bills you need to pay but you do not own Minecraft which you are making a server under their terms and conditons. As for my two cents...
Just because people need money to keep their server up, doesn't grant them permission to violate the EULA and start scamming little kids out of their money. Servers with no play to win while rare, exist. I've been on server with a very small active community where everyone talks to one another regularly and everyone works as one to keep the server alive.
Saying that all small servers will shut down is just simply wrong, some will and are surviving today on purely donations. There are big servers like Hypixel's and the Hive who aren't going down so saying all mega-servers will go down is also incorrect. Not sure how other mega-servers like Mineplex and etx. will react just yet.
Will a lot of servers go down? Of course. The servers who don't exist off of ripping off people will be left. Which, I'm and from what I see; many others will be perfectly fine with. Quality over quanity is what I say. - To post a comment, please login.
