      I think he took money from some people who really really want an IPO to cash out.

        Exactly. He could not care any less about any of this. He’s just the faceman right now taking all the heat on purpose for that sweet sweet ipo cash out. Money is all that matters at this point. He’s burning the entire company down to the ground just to cash out and disappear from public life.

    They’re doing the right thing in this case for sure.

    Not having one of your official update/news mediums being fundamentally changed in how you and your customers interact with each other by a hostile third party is a good thing.

    Shoving things onto twitter/discord/facebook wouldn’t be a good alternative either.

    I feel as if this is the first real sign that this shit has had an impact. Minecraft isn’t a small community by any means, and them ditching the huge subreddit over this is shocking.

      It makes sense from a perspective that their jobs just got a lot harder, they don’t have any of the tools they used to, they are being threaten with termination if they don’t volunteer their free time.

      Why would anyone want to do that hobby?

    Bravo x 1000, I say! I was truly disappointed that the mods at sub Reddit for GW2 did not do the same; after initially going on blackout for a few days, they are now back to business as usual.
