Payday 2 had a pretty fair and neat start, but quickly devolved into pay(day)2win bullshit.
Like seriously GRENADES were a DLC?
Then the game progressively got rebalanced to be harder and more meta.
What a shame if that meta included DLC items...

I tried starting up minecraft after several years without playing, only to find out that Microsoft has stolen my game.

If you say no-no words on your own private server, Microsoft's servers pick it up, and ban you from your own private server BTW. Lmao.

... they gave you 2 years to merge accounts. And sent emails. And newsletters.

And announced it in big bold letters on the website.

And every youtuber out there reported on it.

This was your own fault.

What right do they have to demand I move my account? None. Contracts are mutually binding, and no party has the right to arbitrarily modify the terms of the contract to their liking.

They've had the right since they purchased mojang.

So goooo fuck thyself.

>Its okay when megacorps perform theft, provided they inform you that they are commiting theft
That's a hot take, by the way, that's a nice car you have out the front of your house.
I think I'll be taking it. Don't bother calling the cops, I told you beforehand, you could've secured it.

It isn't theft, the Mojang accounts literally do not exist anymore. It's closer to being given multiple notices to pick something up from a repair place, you never do it, and so they sell it.

 

[Jormungandr]

Pretty much what @Vyor is saying.

It sucks, but these things happen and you were informed multiple times in the past to the point where you'd have to mimic an ostrich not to know.

It's ya own fault. shrug

I mean fuck, they even gave away a free copy of Bedrock Edition to everyone that made the switch. And a cape!

A cape? Damn that's swank.

A cape? Damn that's swank.

Sadly not an IRL one, but a minecraft one.

But considering the only other ways of getting one of those are working for mojang and going to minecons...

 

[TheRejectionist]

Just relevant enough since his games are heavily inspired by many films.

Oh man, a real-life Minecraft cape would've been awesome, lol.

"Sorry, we don't build Fords anymore, we're going to have to take away your perfectly functioning car, oops!" -Megacorp
Stop trying to justify ridiculous things by megacorps. If this shit happened by a common pleb he'd be arrested for years.

It's amazing they show the first Aloy but not the one from second game.

Yeah I know the sequel of Horizon isn't on PC yet...but still this amazes me.

So what happens if, I don't know, the WoW servers shut down because they're too expensive to maintain? Is that theft now too?

To be frank, unless players can run their own servers. Yes, that would be theft.
Last time I checked "I bought X. and company/person/aliens stole X from me", that is theft.

I'm not changing my viewpoint on this, so if you think otherwise, just end this debate.

Ok, so if the company sent out an email to everyone saying "hey, reply to this email and we'll send you an EXE that doesn't need our servers specifically" and then you not doing so would be... what exactly? You being a massive retard?
