Topic: Minecraft's new EULA "changes" every player is talking about (Read 591 times)

For the people who play minecraft, they know that this is a big deal. Even if you don't play it, just read this and say what you think.

Basically Mojang (minecraft's dev team) has improved their EULA which basically says that players who run minecraft servers cannot charge players money for ingame benefits. They can however charge for server entry, cosmetic benefits, or just something that doesn't give them a benefit in game over a non donator.

Now, for server owners, this is a big problem because this gives them less of a chance to bring in money to keep their server alive. They rely on donations to keep their servers up. If they can't give players in game benefits for money, then players will probably won't donate money to them.

For the regular player, this is great news however. For a player like me who doesn't want to donate $300 to ever server I visit, this is a good thing. Now I will be on the same playing field as any other player. By this I mean that every other player will be like me in the sense that nobody has over powered items that I can never get because I didn't donate.


Since I don't run servers, this is a good change for me. What do you guys think? Was it a good idea for mojang to do this? How will this effect minecraft? Is it a good change over all?

One thing i'd like to point out is that some server went bad. Bad in the sense that they were charge over $1000 for certain perks. Now this isn't a problem if a person is willing to donate this much, but some parents have been complaining to Mojang that their kid just lost $1000 on their game. But Mojang only sold them the minecraft account, the servers are run by the players. So mojang introduced this change.
