      And it’s not like this is some small indie game anymore… If Mojang thinks it’s right to back out with the best selling game of all time, why won’t other devs back out of Reddit?

    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.
