Mojang & Microsoft: "Don't sell mods or maps, it's unfair to the BTW, come spend money in our marketplace with stolen mods, and creator ideas 😃."

[Maxume]

"Skyblock is too generic a term to trademark, " says the company that trademarked "Windows."

[TrideGD]

It's crazy how instead of having a long lasting legacy for his contribution of one of the greatest minecraft maps of all time, noobcrew's work is instead just being exploited, with the "creators" of the game actively encouraging it because money. The minecraft community has a rich history that's unfortunately overshadowed by the exploitation of it's popularity, really sad

[TyrannosaurusTrain]

This is one of the biggest reasons why Java players hate bedrock. The marketplace is so terrible and you never know what you are even buying

[stephenf]

7:54 “Minecraft” is a generic term used to describe any virtual game featuring both mining and crafting.

[slimebuck]

this shit is why i stopped being a modder.

years ago I saw this happening, people making work for free, then companies taking that work and profiting from it, then the original creator not only gets nothing, but accused of being the selfish ones because they dont want people stealing their work and making money from it.

[NaudVanDalen]

0:41 $7.45 for Skyblock is insane!! Every random map costing about a quarter of the price of Minecraft is stupid. At least on Java, we can download mods that change the entire game for free.

[varietychan]

These are the same companies to say downloading is always piracy

[arandomfish]

everyone is talking about what Microsoft is doing, but not how TheMisterEpic faild the cobblestone generator at the beginning

[massmadness]

I genuinely hate the marketplace.
(edit: Holy crap that's a lot of people)

[JamesTDG]

I'm on Noobcrew's team here, the sheer amount of fraud going on the marketplace is intense, and yet, Microsoft's incentivized to just screw over the original creator, because Skyblock is an intense money printer

[PoliAstroN]

I find it absolutely insane that people spend money on the Minecraft Marketplace. Buying cosmetics is one thing, but spending money on what’s already free? Are they stupid or something?

[EnglishAaron]

The marketplace is basically selling what was popular free content for java, slowly getting close to producing a watered down version of the classic mods available on java like tinkerers forcing those original modders to create the "port" for themselves first to secure ownership and provide quality to the best od their ability with limited tools. The big incentive for getting addons is the ability to play with console players due to the majority of Minecraft players playing on consoles instead of ever jumping over to PC.

[johnmcconnell]

Not surprised by microsoft doing this but its still rather disrespectful and distasteful good way to show your consumers hey we will do anythjng to get money from you even if its going to backfire piss you off and screw you over

[UnfinishedTime]

I feel so bad for Noobcrew, it must be so demotivating having a billion dollar company (Microsoft) against you. We need more people like Noobcrew, he is standing up for his morals even if it will end badly.

Skyblock: any block in the sky
Minecraft: any game where you mine and craft

[Sam-kzsx]

how is this even a debate, from what i've searched for like 30 seconds i found that the Original Skyblock map was made in 2011 while microsoft bought Mojang in 2014. This should make no legal sense for Microsoft to be able to lie about creating and owning that map.

[luketurner]

7:48 by Microsoft's own logic, the name "Minecraft" isn't -copyright-able- trademark-able either
