>> But Microsoft is setting community standards for places they do not run here, just because these spaces use their software. This is ridiculous, and sets yet another dangerous precedent.

I agree with what you are saying but of course somewhere Microsoft is probably hoping to convert Minecraft from a game anyone can host to a game that is always connected to some service of theirs. That way they can collect data or sell ads or maybe subscriptions.

I don't like the idea of open source games because you can't crowdsource editorial decisions. But I think gamers are going to be ready for a game that is made by a team, but owned and maintained by the gamers. Probably through a DAO or something like that. How else can you maintain a game for years in the best interest of people who bought it? Just making a game open source isn't enough imo.
