Minecraft is being sued. Here's why.

[@AlOstosman]

Honestly, mojang has gotten away with their illegal practices due to their fanbase (lets not kid ourselves) being children for FAAAR too long, hell this is something Kian also said in his own video

[@usernameforgottoexist]

no pun intended :)

[@ideac.]

i'll never understand mojang making minecraft overly childish for no reason just let minecraft be minecraft, this game isnt for toddlers, 10 years ago mojang wasnt like this and the game was way more popular anyways, i dont understand all the child only focused marketing and obsession

[@Brandogamer293]

Microsoft. Companies are so obessed with child friendliness and being sterile.

[@awesomekalin55]

You mentioned EU only, but the UK has kept lots of the EU's consumer protection laws since leaving. So this will also affect those in the UK as well as EU, and any other country with similar consumer protection laws (similar as in laws that would actually affect this case)

[@mcbyt]

Possibly, but since Brexit is so recent, we could see the UK's consumer protection laws change in the time between now and the resolution of the lawsuit. Either way though, this lawsuit wouldn't result in payments to UK citizens since it's being filed with courts of the EU - at least, that's how I understand it. However, a ruling in favor of Kian would set a good precedent for a UK citizen to start a lawsuit of their own.

i appreciate you for taking action about minecraft

[@Velocifyer]

Remember that crossbows with fireworks in them are firearms and gunpowder is a refrence to guns. And evry single weapon in minecraft is a "adult weapon"

[@officialarrogamer]

Those Minecraft ARGs about Mojang doing shady things are becoming real 💀

[@AnonymousNyanCat-qg6bb]

Riot Games also did the same thing to Vanguard, hiding the rules and force updating without user consent. Maybe they need to be reported to their bosses Tencent and take legal action to make them aware.

[@39zack]

lol! Do you think China cares?

[@JarcraftedStuff]

​@@39zackNah China cares so much, haven't you heard about the millions of times China cared about legal matters with game companies they owne?

[@AttemptingsYT]

Mojang will probably get away with this one on court as messed up as the world is but im wishing for this to work out in our favor

[@chear8145]

Literally how, they broke the law, not even in a sneaky way they just straight up broke european law, the eu isn't like america it has actually useful protection laws, mojang will have to comply or lose like 100 million players, and not to mention all the possible customers lost

[@AttemptingsYT]

@chear8145 from what I heard they make them a lot of money so they most likely won't which I hope I'm wrong because this does need to be fixed

[@PiercingSight]

The US actually does have similar consumer protection laws, but there are some silly things that are still allowed for some reason like forced arbitration, which is nonsense.

[@iGPR3]

couldnt wait for your coverage of this dude, thanks

[@unknow24_24]

They even have the item called "gunpowder" ironically

[@ImArkando]

Why? Because they dominate their gaming genre and know that they "won't have any consequences".

[@voidthevoiderr]

Bro I thought we were just messing at first 😭😭😭

[@That-ks4pf]

No wonder why my account for minecraft just always logs out after a while and IT STRAIGHT UP DELETED MINECRAFT

[@someone_else.a]

i swear mojang is gonna do sm goofy shit and move to america

[@fylonn]

Thanks for the quick review, i've been so lost cuz everyones beating around the bush (or rather i dont care enough for that much backstory), but i like your style for these types of videos.

[@Kamerzystanasyt]

In America. Not in Sweden, where Mojang is based - check the official Swedish description of "lottery" I showed in the video

[@koffiblog8434]

as much as I can get behind the reason for suing Mojang, since I agree that the company has not been properly communicating issues to anyone really and there's some much needed action, I'm still unsure about how this lawsuit will move fowards... mojang is owned by microsoft, so I'm unsure if one singular person with a limited amount of financial resources could go up against it and win, I'm not from the US nor am I from Europe so my knowledge of law is based on my own country... but I'm still skeptical about the whole ordeal. Best of luck really, and let's see what comes from it, I suppose.

[@BeveledCube]

damn everyone hepling Kian Brose

i joined the discord server for this lawsuit to suport it if posible i was in the livestream dupertrooper had hunting for p2w servers to add to the list for the lawsuit hope greedy people get what they deserve.

[@Zigbill]

interesting, they didn't take down this nor any other video on this topic...

[@Demodog90]

i thought minecraft was a sandbox game not a strict game that people dont wanna play.

[@epic10l2gaming6]

I bet they are gonna move to the USA after the lawsuit

[@ro0t3ntry]

Would still have to comply if the end users are in the European Union. Same thing like Apple has to allow side loading for EU users even though Apple is purely American, since they dont want to lose out on the European Union Marketshare.

[@epic10l2gaming6]

@ro0t3ntry makes sense tbh

[@JeremiahYT]

Would I be able to get compensation for the Microsoft migration I paid for, as well as the damages I suffered from losing that account? The account had value in other games, like Hypixel, and included ranks in groups. I lost the account due to Microsoft's mishandling, and I had to create another account and pay for Minecraft again just to play.

[@fortnitesweatgod9513]

i agree with this 100% i had a friend who couldnt log in bc he forgot his pass and it made him log in and he couldnt make a microsoft acc

[@ZylerArmontrout]

I guess gunpowder is getting deleted

[@DNS_David]

Just like i wanted so much.. The Lawsuit.. Even I watched already that video

[@Daymare19]

Kian isn't actually allowed to sue Mojang lol. His server was actually already released and was doing terrible and woul have needed to shut down anyways, meaning he isn't an victim and isn't allowed to sue

[@mcbyt]

That's not how lawsuits work.

[@chear8145]

Everybody saying "mojang" "mojang" but I think its time we fight back against the strict policies of the EU because at the end of the day, it's Mojang's game DOWN WITH USB-C

Your wrong EULA in the US if they break the law are void

[@mcbyt]

I'm not saying that EULAs are allowed to break the law in the U.S. I'm saying that the U.S laws are different than European laws, and it might not be illegal in the U.S. Even if it is illegal in the U.S, it'll be harder to do a lawsuit than in Europe.

[@VeeFerns]

um actually, kian lied about the not being able to launch mcwar thing, he did, it was just very unsuccessful, look into it

[@mcbyt]

It's not a lie that he was unable to launch the server for a period of time - he was indeed able to launch it eventually, when Mojang gave their most recent stance that I and Kian both covered, where they said that for the time being, guns would be allowed in multiplayer servers. You're not wrong about MCWar flopping though, the server is certainly not doing well. But that doesn't necessarily mean he lied about Mojang banning gun servers - that's been very well-documented over the last year

[@VexCuomo]

You're a Mojang employee. Also, I've been seeing them send their bots.

[@VexCuomo]

​@@mcbyt Mojang employees and bots being sent to destroy Kian's credibility and Zman fell for it in his comments section. I called out several bots.

[@pernydev6844]

​@@mcbyt Hi! Kian's friend and McWar dev here. Pretty much the entire McWar dev team has been involved in the lawsuit video and that has taken our priority at this time. We already have a marketing idea which we will be executing once the initial lawsuit busyness is over.

[@mcbyt]

@@pernydev6844 That's good to hear :) I quite like the idea behind MCWar and I definitely think it could do well, considering the huge overlap I've seen between Minecraft players and CS/Valorant/etc players. Best of luck!

The original was really fast-paced and I know some people do not like that, so I slowed it down - I also tried to cover migration and copyright abuse, the story of Grand Theft Minecart's takedown, and the likely results of the lawsuit, which Kian did not cover in his video
