Catch me on the corner selling server.jar out of a long trenchcoat.

People don’t even want you to play a video game in private now.

"Gibbons cut in: “They’re illegal. They are not in any way affiliated with Microsoft. Microsoft, for Minecraft, has gotten a lot of criticism because of those community servers not employing the same safety standards that Microsoft does on their Minecraft servers.”

    Oh but they are VERY dangerous. Dangerous for the 1%’s wealth. What will they do if they have to downsize their billion dollar yachts???

      But the thing is? They’re not. Billionaires would still be billionaires without attacking open source and self hosting.

      The problem is that billionaires are hungry ghosts. It’s not enough to be fabulously wealthy, they just want more. Forever.
