Imagine paying a subscription to a client for *cracked Minecraft* 💀

With Russian developers, it's either you get very dedicated and nice people working with extreme passion or you get massive scam artists assholes. Never any in-between

As a kid in Russia, I never even knew that TLauncher was not actual minecraft. You could hold a gun to my head and I could not tell you a single russian person to not have used it

[goblez]

Notch is unironically one of the most based game devs for saying "Just Pirate It"

[MishaGold]

Glad to help with the video! Before, it was unexpected to me to find out that TLauncher is popular outside of Russia. I hope now this story will become much more known!

how is this 11 months old, time flies by so fast

[vladiusvostokus]

6:25 - btw, a lot of russian companies try to hide their location and origin by this way or by changing place of registration to a foreign one.

I want to express my huge gratitude to the original TL for the message it shows to each player at the first launch. A welcome message motivating you to buy an original game one day. Thanks to it now I have a licensed Minecraft. Thanks also to Arthur for giving me a way to join the Minecraft community even though I didn't have the money to buy Minecraft at the time.

Minecrafts creator said it best himself.

"Just pirate the game until you can buy it." - Notch

[aaronpatatas]

I remember that for a school project everyone needed to install a pirated version of minecraft, after that, the almost 10 yo computers were changed for new ones because every single one had a virus

It's insane how they still ask for higher cuts from server owners when they literally rake billions of dollars. This really shows how insatiable people can be.

[iGamezRo]

I'm Romanian and I can say that this Launcher is really popular here. A lot of kids use it. The most popular server here is called Gamster and it is mostly played with TLauncher, but they also seem to longer be happy with them, since the server has its own cracked launcher and they promote it heavily, including the fact they give you a special rank if you use it.

Man 2014 was wild. I remember playing on the TeamExtreme launcher because my parents didn't have any way of actually paying for the game online back then, it was fun. It's sad to see that their server eventually died out, but I personally think that Mojangs policy of not dealing with pirated copies was very helpful in making MC this popular, as I f.e. later bought the game

[blastersus]

Why will you buy TLauncher premium if you can just buy the real minecraft?

Hi MrEpic, Software Developer here. Not completly sure but from the code shown at 11:50 it appears to be checking to see the winver. I looks like its doing this because something may be blocked with a older version so its trying to update? it does some weird stuff after it like resetting your web socket which i believe is for flushing. Doesn't look like its doing anything harmful.

As a person from Russia it's so good to see someone from west covering this! It such a frustrating story, glad to see it getting out there. Good video!

[alexbubu]

I will never forget the classic TeamExtreme launcher. Incredible. It replicated the old minecraft launcher before the massive overhaul. Sure it was minimalistic and basic, but man, did I spend a lot of time on it before I got the game

[isaacmatzavraco]

what an essay dude! So well structured and engaging as well, keep up the great work! I'm subbing ofc

[TRDiscordian]

Hey, software engineer here. The code you've listed doesn't appear to be malicious. It's odd they use Java from their own servers, but not unheard of. Is there anything else? It seems dozens if not hundreds of locations cite the same sources, but no one has a single example of hard evidence of wrongdoing?

As a russian programmer all i can say: never touch a thing coded by a russian with a ten feet long stick, even if you are the one who hired that coder for the project.
