I also want to vent about something else. The official Minecraft launcher is horrendous horseshit. The purpose of a game launcher is to tweak your settings before launching the game. The launcher then has no business being a 300 Megabyte bloated hefty buggy invasive ad. The official launcher requires you to have internet access to boot the game you paid. You need to verify continuously every 24hrs. Tough luck to anybody without an always-on connection. But forget about playing Minecraft. Why not play
Minecraft: Dungeons, or
Minecraft: Legends, or any other spinoff nobody cares about? Set your alarm for the upcoming TikTok or Twitch tie-in featuring 'currently-trending-sellout'. Trying to install a mod? Are you sure you want to proceed? Install one of Microsoft-verified modpacks on sale now for $20. I created an account on the feedback site years ago to gently complain about the terrible launcher, but they ensured my toxic ass will never bother them again.
Back when I played Minecraft I used
PolyMC in place of the official launcher. It's incredibly lightweight, fully featured, no shilling, no nonsense compared to the multi-Billion dollar company's equivalent. But here's the thing. In October 2022, the popular MC community channels were overrun with warnings to immediately uninstall PolyMC, because it was discovered to be malware. When you read something like that, you uninstall without much of a second thought. But I investigated a bit to be sure. Turns out the lead developer was subject to a smear campaign by some of the developers, because he removed some lines from the terms of service that promoted queer propaganda. So the tranny devs forked PolyMC to something new called
PRISM launcher, and casually suggested after uninstalling PolyMC you make your way over to PRISM. So trannies slandered a hard-working dev, siphoned all his users, and stole the credit for the launcher. These days, I see Linux Jewtubers promote PRISM as the DeFacto Minecraft launcher. It's one of the top downloads on Flathub with 1.5M installs. The poor cunt who runs PolyMC is never spoken of.
Normal people who love Minecraft are trampled over while fags and greedy people triumph.
