Minecraft EULA Update

Recently Minecraft's creators, Mojang, updated their End User License Agreement, a EULA, a few weeks ago which caused a little bit of a stir among its many many players and server hosts.

Firstly, let's take a look at what the EULA actually states and what it means.

This is the section that has gotten everyone's Jimmy's rustled. It basically goes on to say that servers can no longer to make money off of their idea, but later states that they can but must do it in a very Mojang-friendly way. All that needs to be done is that the server can no longer provide in-game items for real life monetary values, they are basically trying to remove pay-to-win servers. I can understand that this is needed, even without being a player since the EULA update in 2014. Many servers can get unplayable due to the huge amount of people that use money to gain items like insanely power weapons and buffs to win unquestionably. 

They're being very calm about their current blacklist wave, that will grow, because the shear number of people they unemployed and players they no longer have to which they have to decide, "Is this worth the hassle?" and decide to continue. I, for one, believe that they should continue because the huge number of servers that just make money for the sake of making money, they add YouTube personalities to their lineups and get huge player counts just so they may meet the YouTuber, they go to all these trials to get to the level of gear and base that the highers have, just to be knocked into place by a pay-to-win wall that requires them to pay 5 dollars to even match half of what the other user has to use.

The servers have had well over enough time to meet the requirements of the new EULA, but some have still not complied. One well known server GotPvP had its host Saito go on to say that, "[they] will not comply" because they require this unfair, "pay-to-enhance" gameplay to continue providing the service.

This is the only fair argument that anyone has made, that it is needed to maintain the hundreds, if not thousands of dollars that servers need to keep up and running, but servers can be paid for without having to give players unfair advantages by allowing them to get perks that are purely cosmetic, like Hypixel. This is something that Saito did not really agree with during his interview with KeemStar on DramaAlert. 

Now, let's take a look at some of what larger YouTube creators have to say about this change,
