So? What do you guys think? Do you think we will soon be able to make our own Minecraft skins instead of downloading these awful skins? Maybe we could even download a skin creator thats 400 Microsoft Points that will let us make our own skins? Just an idea. I want you to post your ideas of what we could do for making are own skins!
The siimple answer is no because there's nothing protecting 4J from copyright infringement. PC users only have this luxury because Mojang doesn't host the content and therefore isn't liable. However 4J's situation is much different, if anyone were to make a mario skin Nintendo would be after them in a heartbeat. There's just no way you can police all the skins submitted to make sure they're all okay...
No, because there's a difference between "authorized" and "unauthorized" skins.
Mojang hasn't put out a skin editor themselves, and neither will 4J.
People tend to forget that Mojang gives/sells us the basic game, updates, 1 skin, and 1 texture pack (the original). That's it. Nothing else is "official" per their TOS. All the other stuff (mods, skins, texture packs, editors, etc.) is fan-made and not "Mojang certified" (cause they have no quality control over them).
At least 4J is giving us "authorized" skins. You might not like them all, but we are getting "official" ones.
