The main thing I am critical of are the chat reports, but that was essentially Microsoft’s doing.

Back when the likes of 1.9 and 1.11 came out, they added things people they wanted (elytra, firework boosting) but ended up screwing over how the whole game worked. So I can see why they’re being careful with harmless small changes. It’s also a 16 year old game, the fact that they’re pushing free updates for a one off £20 purchase is excellent. The game is also already pretty good as it is. The mob vote was a nice idea for community engagement(although they could have been more clearer on how the losers would be added later on). I think people are FAR too toxic that they aren’t receiving free updates for a £20 game that is already absolutely stellar, and that many have poured thousands of hours in already, if not tens of thousands. I’ve been playing it for over a decade now, and I am quite happy with the direction it is going. People are ungrateful that they aren’t getting huge game changing updates every year. Things like that need to be well balanced and ironed out to prevent a disaster like 1.11 happening again.

    Yeah. The whole thing of soliciting donations is backwards. I mean it’s fine, if someone wants to contribute then it’s fine, but it’s not accomplishing the goal.

    • The people who receive the donations receive a tiny fraction of what they should
    • The people who choose to contribute already have the right mentality (that they picked up from somewhere else)
    • The people who don’t contribute are the ones who should be required to contribute, as a way to adjust their mentality
