Okay, so I go and update my minecraft, all good. I'm talking to my friend on facebook and he says they've cracked down on piracy, I asked him what he meant and he linked me this.
I think this is hilarious and will most likely force any pirate on YouTube to go and buy the game :biggrin.gif:
Your thoughts?
And yes I myself have bought this, go and do a haspaid on vornika.
edit:
I think the "From another location" means a different IP address from the usual(One you bought minecraft on?) I'm not certain as I have no other computers to test this on.
I hope Notch adds the feature of completely not being able to crack or using the game if pirated. This game is awesome and pretty cheap and I believe it shouldn't be undetaken like other games through piracy.
I think notch did in fact add this, i'm sure i read it somewhere else too lol
but hang on i play minecraft on 2 different computers, will it show up O_o
I'll try to log in in school today so i'll see what happens
I figure having something like this is a good idea...I pirated MC, then bought it because it was good. I've so far gotten 6 others to purchase the game.
Piracy works like a great demo for everyone.

Do not get attached to your saves, seriously, stuff like this has happened before, if there's something you love and really want to build...Wait for release.

The reason I USED to pirate this game is because I didn't have any other choice of playing the game. I had to pirate it, because the demo wasn't out, and I don't have a credit card yet.
This is why most people pirate the game, or maybe because they're cheap like that.

I bought minecraft after pirating it. Encouraged a friend to get it as well. Bought it when it was about 15 dollars, cost me 2 weeks of allowance to get it. Yes, 2 weeks, because of the horrid economy in the country I'm living in and the conversion of it to dollars is expensive. 20 dollars? About 3 weeks of allowance right there (college student). I have two other younger siblings who play minecraft on our personal server and I don't have the money to get it for them yet. It kinda sucks if we can't play smp anymore on 1.6 :/
Most of my friends pirated minecraft because it was free, their all cheap. However this game is not expensive, $20 is pretty cheap for a brilliant game.

yeah, maybe they'll get 'em this time.
One can hope.
Friend says it's the same launcher he had before.
