My computer is also not a republic or democracy, I should be able to do whatever in God's name I want with it. If I want to charge people money for taking up resources on my computer and give virtual goods towards the resources on my computer for those who donated money to the operation then I should be able to do that.

Of course, if a EULA says I can't do that on my own machine then I can no longer do that, but it's not a very kind EULA when it dictates the choices I make on my machine operation to satisfy the beliefs of the EULA holder.

You, as a consumer, are able to choose! Don't want to waste money on a server that might reject you? Don't pay anyone ever for playing the game. Sit on SSP, playing LAN games and never step out into the whole big scary world.

lol, really? "if anything, do it for the kids!" lmao.

in that case, Mojang should just do what most modern day companies do, and simply ignore the typical case of 'ineptness at work in its natural habitat' and considering that this EULA would undoubtedly push more people onto realms, there is more evidence to say that it is indeed about realms, then to say otherwise. By that logic we should also get rid of all republics and democracies, because the people are just to stupid to take care of themselves. Quite frankly, if servers are abusive, they will either die out, or its supporters are clearly not to bright, either way, its their problem, there is no need to ruin it for the rest of us who have enjoyed minecraft as it was for the past 4 years just because of a few idiots.

Think about it. 7 million people living in this world, and I'm guessing 200 out of those 7 million people would donate. Welcome to the real world, people want to benefit out of these things (Unless it's for like charity, lol)

According to the article, you're allowed to make profit out of a server, but not allowed to sell anything? I know you can get sponsers and people to donate to your server, but there's something COMPLETELY messed up with that.

Now, I know you can still make a profit out of servers, but who's going to donate for no reason? to give the owners of the server some cash the players or their parents work hard for? I know that there are people generous enough to do this, but the world we know today is very greedy.

Also, sponsorship is a problem. Some company, such as Walmart or Sprite is going to give money to a Minecraft server to help advertise their product, right? WRONG. I doubt very many companies would do that, with the exception of a well-known server, such as Hypixel. but think about the servers who are a smaller, maybe have had around 1000 people join it. NO ONE is going to sponser them.

Tell me Mojang, what's your logic behind this? You're basically ruining Minecraft. If people were to follow the rules, hundreds of thousands of servers would shut down because of this, and many players would lose interest in Minecraft. Great job.

I mean before it's official. If this does indeed go through, I will have to shutdown my server before following these rules.

Though I have been talking to my CoOwner, we may have found a way to make money without declining their rules. So everyone will be happy.

Hm, features or changes for Survival. That narrows it down. >_>
