Microsoft lately has been doing awful decisions, from mass layoffs, to closing from studios such as the studio from HI-FI rush, to trying to implement AI to everything they own to the point that they said that everything in the internet is "fair use" which would include their products and copyrighted material. They said that they're focusing on more environmental friendly products and yet they have been producing a lot of carbon related emissions as seen in this article

Microsoft's actions have been making many of their studios employees either quit or get laid off as a result, with 2550 employees leaving the Xbox company and 100,000 tech employees leaving Microsoft due Microsoft's obession with AI and cutting ties. They said that they wouldn't close any studio after buying Bethesda and yet they have closed 4 studios related with Bethesda, one of them being the creators of HI-FI rush. After Microsoft bought Mojang, they have promised that they wouldn't touch them or do anything that would go against their deal. 10 years later, and they have been abusing the copyright system by using an AI, contaminating the environment in favor of AI, and ruining Mojang's reputation to the point that the community can't see Mojang nor their devs as people. Recently Lydia Winters, an employee that was with Mojang since 2011, has left Mojang.

And the reason from why could be related to the harsh corporate decisions at Microsoft with Matt Booty, Phil Spencer, and Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella screwing up their employees and studios in favor for cuts and their AI integrations while not caring about what their studios think nor care about giving their IPs justice.

Back in 2014, Mojang feared and was sad that Microsoft bought them, fearing that they would close them, and despite Microsoft promises about not closing nor touching them, they began to close down 4 studios despite said 4 studios doing well as of this year, and have been starting to influence on the way how Mojang works. Microsoft hasn't cared nor cares about Mojang nor Minecraft, they only care about money and their blatant theft machine and OpenAI's theft machine that have been making the planet and the internet a much worse place. Minecraft should be indie and free, not be under Microsoft's corporate hands.

Microsoft also lied about being hands off with the game and put their employees in Mojang in Redmond when that was not part of the deal. Minecraft would operate better if it the devs were in charge and not Microsoft, had no employees being put into the team deciding what Mojang can or can't do, and not adding corporate bureocracy into the team. Not to mentino that they force Minecraft to collab with brands absolutely no one asked for like Mattel or food brands. We had LEGO and JINX for that.

We need to make Mojang a place with their devs having fun without having to worry about an AI stealing their job nor Microsoft's awful decisions affecting them. Minecraft needs to be free, Microsoft pretends to care, but they never have cared for Minecraft nor their community, other than making their lives more miserable and for what? For profits. They are also the reason that the account migration happened in the first place and the reason for the EULA changes which Mojang was sadly flamed on instead of them. We should act and revoke Microsoft’s rights to Minecraft and perserve Minecraft's core identiy which is its indie nature. The Xbox brand is already dying, and if we don’t stop Microsoft and save Minecraft from them, Minecraft’s future will be grim. As of now, Microsoft (now known as Microslop) is turning every product into AI, and Minecraft deserves better than having shareholders and an AI company dedicating what it should or not do.

As of recently, they have been shown to force Mojang/Minecraft to comply with UK age verification enforcement. With Ofcom being a great privacy concern.

If we want to save Minecraft from Microsoft, Ofcom, and shareholders, and make it for the community once more; you can keep sharing this link so that more people get to see it. New Discord server: https://discord.gg/gjvS4zeEvR
