Microsoft Will Delete Minecraft Java.

Hold up I know this sounds crazy there’s no way that it’s true and look it might not be true I don’t work at Microsoft I never worked for Notch so I have no magical inside information but I have eyes and ears and a brain and it’s been

Noticing things I have a desired outcome an outcome that involves you that I also know that you don’t want at all with every fiber of your being both you and a bunch of different people but me being involved in this thing needing the outcome to happen because it aligns with

My objectives decides on the most appropriate strategy to accomplish my goals first I would start moving toward my desired direction right up until the point that you protest then I’m gonna stop now I’m going to wait as long as is required for the psychological Amnesia to take effect until the previous

Protest point I stopped at becomes the new normal at which point I can just start moving again and I can just repeat this process forever to move as slow as is necessary in order to avoid creating or causing outright resistance or uproar by the end of this video I’m going to

Demonstrate to you exactly why I think it’s incredibly likely that Minecraft Java is going to be discontinued within the next 5 to 15 years and while you may or may not agree that at least you understand my position that I haven’t come to this belief lightly or casually

And that the reasoning is somewhat straightforward it all starts with Notch everything starts with notch man he’s like some sort of cosmological constant like the year 1955 and Back to the Future or that skeleton piano in The Goonies but Goonies Never say die and since Notch sold Minecraft to Microsoft

After becoming weary of being continually targeted whenever the community was unhappy we can’t exactly draw that parallel although I doubt any goonie would resist the offer of 2.5 billion the whole point of their Adventure was chasing pirate treasure in the first place anyways so Minecraft grants Notch his wish and they acquire

Minecraft in September of 2014. up until this point Minecraft made its money from its exploding popularity for the last four years because of the insane amount of value you were buying for most of History up until this point Minecraft had its main version on computer and an

Xbox 360 edition which had a 256 radius of playability and was missing the vast majority of main game features adorable it’s really important to understand this culture of Minecraft because this is where Minecraft’s tension in the present between versions comes from not just within the incredible scale and size and

Freedom within the vanilla game itself but through the game’s ability to be infinitely Modified by additions from the community altering and adding whatever they wanted to the game the Outsourcing of development to the player base added an insane amount of value to joining the community that just wasn’t available from any other gaming

Experience at the time a game that contained an infinite number of versions of itself through modification for the price of twenty dollars which was a third the price of of Flagship gaming titles which by default provided way less content this vehicle was a miracle it’s why Minecraft is the king of games

Now beating the previous historical most sold title of all time Tetris but if you buy a game that’s widely already spread around the world for 2.5 billion how are you gonna make your money back how are you going to get a return on this investment you have to take a larger

Longer view of your strategy a much larger much longer view to highlight the fact that this really was a different era in comparison to today there was no such thing as Java Edition it was just Minecraft there was also the Minecraft 360 version and later when Minecraft Pocket Edition came out these ancient

Names that some of you may never heard of and eventually the Xbox One Edition including PlayStation variants basically Mojang’s strategy up until and during Microsoft’s acquisition was to get on every single platform possible and all these different versions were being developed following Microsoft’s acquisition position they didn’t really

Change the direction Mojang was moving in that much Minecraft was still Minecraft they added a huge merch store and things really continued on as you would expect for years the Minecraft Community initially alarmed and disturbed by the news of the acquisition in fear that the Indie feel of Minecraft

And all its wonderful Freedom would be destroyed by the heartless opacity of corporate Aesthetics and a profit-driven agenda but Microsoft didn’t do that so people relaxed we let our guard down it almost felt like Notch was still in charge and it often felt like he was still there a Swedish Jesus watching

Down on us but that’s how Microsoft wanted us to feel and with years of little to no changes being made to Minecraft’s distribution and development we breathe a sigh of relief but Microsoft wasn’t idle they were making moves behind the scenes in September of 2017 Microsoft released Minecraft Bedrock Edition version 1.2 subtitle

That Better Together better together this has a hidden meaning because shortly following this they gave advertisements an existing Minecraft versions for Xbox PlayStation and others to download Bedrock continuously until eventually support for these versions was dropped and eventually these versions of the games were totally discontinued maybe now you can begin to

Understand the deeper meaning of their Better Together subtext in all fairness the move made sense given the context the 1.9 combat update released a few years before that was so wildly unpopular that Minecraft had been decreasing in popularity ever since the combat update being the catalyst is debatable but the decline in popularity

Is not 2017-18 were the worst years of this and focusing the player base into singular versions of the game rather than the scattered versions prior was only common sense as much as it hurt and sat in the people who swore by these versions if that was all that Microsoft wanted for

Us to be better together I would have supported such an inspirational and hopeful message in such a dark period in Minecraft’s history but it didn’t stop there very soon after bedrock’s release Microsoft changed original Minecraft’s name from Minecraft to Minecraft Java Edition now this wouldn’t seem like a

Big deal it would make sense that you call one version bedrock and the other one Java so they’re distinct but then they did one little tiny thing that’s just kind of really just a little bit betrays their entire manipulative agenda Bedrock some time later lost its name Bedrock it was eventually just called

Minecraft this slow switch Rue over a period of time to attempt to not arouse any suspicion didn’t go unnoticed with this sneaky little pivot Microsoft single-handedly ended Java’s eight-year run of being the number one way to play the game the entire reason for the game’s success in the first place and

Microsoft’s placement and marketing of Bedrock really worked people for some strange reason and still primarily by gaming consoles in the modern era guys for the love of God get a goddamn computer and since Bedrock is exclusive to those devices you saw the majority of the player base within a few short years

Suddenly exclusively on Bedrock Edition but it didn’t stop there account migration the end of an era Mojang insists that you migrate your accounts into Microsoft gaming accounts because they will be safer technically true but some hair brain conspiracy theorists theorized that this was the precursor to further Microsoft control and intrusion

Into the Java Community Mojang released an adorable little animated video of dinnerbone explaining that this wasn’t the case that nothing we love about Java is going to change nothing you hear that guys nothing so migrate your account we’ll ask you nicely until it’s required and you can’t play anymore until you

Migrate but hey you’ll get a cool unique Cape that everyone will have at any rate trusting the reassurance of dinner bone account migration happened and the concept of the Mojang account was now the same status as the Legacy account history became Legend and Legend became myth still everything seemed okay

Logging into Java launcher with Microsoft was weird but dinnerbone was right nothing we love about Java ended up changing until it did with Minecraft Java now officially being part of Microsoft’s gaming experience it was subject to the same terms of service regarding Microsoft moderation in a

Latest snapshot later in the year a chat reporting feature was added that would ban players from the game universally if what they said or how they behaved violated Microsoft’s rules this includes the game censoring your swear words even on signs in your single player and also even included getting banned from

Accessing your single player Worlds at all for something you said on multiplayer this is obviously insanely intrusive even since they’ve pulled back the band to apply to just multiplayer since for 10 years p people have been paying for servers and have had 100 say in how they moderate them it’s part of

The convenience they pay for and that’s more or less where we are today but I still haven’t explained myself and my claim after all moderating chat is a far cry from deleting Minecraft Java entirely where’s my justification for that let’s pick up the pieces Microsoft needs to earn back their 2.5 billion and

Then after that Minecraft is profitable for them they make some money on selling the game but not a ton they also make some more money on their insane merch catalog but not a ton they make a ton of money from the microtransaction hell they’ve etched into the fibers and veins

Of Bedrock Edition so two major factors to consider here number one Microsoft needs to make its money back and then continue to profit number two Microsoft has been slowly and steadily putting Java in a corner for the last nine years very slowly and will continue on this trajectory the moves they’ve made on

This are so slow as to not Rouse suspicion from 2 too much change too fast that it cannot read as anything but deliberate strategy to avoid a backlash indicating that it’s very likely given the motives and history of this that it’s going to keep going think about it the micro transactions on Minecraft

Bedrock are so ridiculous so obscene and overpriced getting ranks and playing minigames can cost anywhere from two to thirty dollars and Beyond passes to play some minigames are as expensive as buying Minecraft itself and these mini games are very often typical mini-games played on Java servers for free and of

Even less quality the Mr Epic has gone through the state of Bedrock servers at length and what an absurd parody of java they are and I would recommend checking that out it doesn’t matter to Microsoft though the point is it makes money but its ability to make money will always be

Threatened by the Shadow of Freedom looming over it undermining Microsoft’s Endeavors to profit from Bedrock Edition is Java Edition which offers everything Bedrock has and more for free infinite modification a vast server Community all free to connect and play and completely free custom skins as long as Microsoft

Is profiting off of these insanely priced Bedrock microtransactions which are offered for free on Java Microsoft’s Minecraft will remain economically incongruent which is why I think they’re going to get rid of java even if it takes another 15 years of slow quiet steps for us to march to that point if

It’s still hard for any of you to imagine just remember that they’ve done this before Xbox One Edition was slowly canceled after Bedrock came out and Microsoft repeatedly advertising updating to bedrock to Xbox One edition users until the service was eventually canceled it’s not hard to imagine

Microsoft’s doing the same thing to us just taking a much longer and slower time of doing it the migration of accounts and Java and Bedrock being sold together essentially being the first forms of advertisement Microsoft recently said they intend to give Minecraft a 100 Year run that’s how deep

Their time Horizon on this is which makes the very little step every few years makes sense but because human existence is always a battle between you and the other you here’s the other mean to present arguments in opposition to me bedrock and Java being sold together is

A play from Microsoft that’s hard to figure out as I just said it could be an advertisement of Bedrock to Java players but that could work both ways making Java available to bedrock users would make no sense wait wait I got that wrong Java can’t be played on Bedrock consoles

At all Bedrock is just being advertised to Java players yeah this looks exactly like the first step in comparison to when they erased Xbox One Edition Jesus Christ This is not going well okay well then I still have one final strong argument against what I’ve been saying despite Microsoft’s attempt to pull

Everyone into the Vortex of microtransaction Hell which looks ridiculous specifically because the Minecraft world all used to is one of ultimate Freedom once you’ve purchased the game Microsoft understands that Java is what drives a huge attraction to the game YouTube Minecraft content is why the game is so insanely

Popular and has been for the last 10 years and the vast majority of this content is created on Java Bedrock players watching Java mine Crafters has been the typical state of the community for years now when I first presented the build the Earth Project half the comments were from Bedrock players

Saying they wish they could participate but Bedrock wasn’t compatible with the project now it wouldn’t actually matter even if it was Bedrock integration became possible on our servers years later but that’s a whole topic for a different video now I could be completely wrong and this video could be

Bombarded with the this aged like milk comments in 10 years in fact I’m waiting for them but it’s entirely possible that Minecraft maintains its worldwide momentum even in the absence of java content on YouTube Microsoft’s position could be that Java content on YouTube was an early motivator in the game’s

Growth and now now it can maintain its position from its worldwide place in the human population’s heads its reputation and that we could see Microsoft cut the head off the chicken in due time so that it can exclusively focus on its passion project with the subtitle better

Together well I hate to break it to you guys but two primary Minecraft versions are not by definition together it seems to me like the discontinuation of Minecraft Java Edition is inevitable I hope I’m wrong a huge thanks to our Chad tier patrons Eccles ji Yang Megan Leckie
