Hello 👋,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Aziz, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt plea to help my family find safety and reunite with our mother. 😞

The ongoing war in Gaza has torn my family apart. My mother and newborn sister are stranded in Egypt, while I, along with the rest of my sex family members, am trapped in the midst of the genocide in Gaza. We have not only been separated but have also lost our home and are enduring unimaginable hardships. 💔

Your support can make a difference. Whether by reading our story, donating, or sharing our campaign with others, you can help us reunite, find safety, and start anew. 🙏🕊

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your kindness, compassion, and solidarity during this difficult time. ❤🍉

[End of Year] 2025, A Year of Betrayal

This past year. 2024. I think I can summarize it in one phrase:

2024 was a Year of Betrayal.

I was originally going to have a bullet-list of things that went wrong this year, but as I skimmed through my "thoughts blog", I realized that said list would be tremendous, so, I guess I'll focus on what really set me off this year.

Okay, I know this isn't what anyone is following me for, but it's important to me.

Mojang is breaking European law and getting away with it.

So someone is suing them.

We shouldn't let it get forgotten.

Here's the video:

Suing Minecraft Because They Broke The Law & Pissed Me Off

I don't play Minecraft but this is awesome.

So I figured out the Hacker Arc's first three episodes

You Wouldn't Download a Meta Runner

It's a seemingly normal day in the Mushroom Kingdom, with the crew up to their usual bullshit...or at least, it would be, if something wasn't going on with Tari. She's acting a bit distant and distracted, and occasionally glitches slightly when no-one's looking. It progressively gets worse, and her friends do notice pretty quickly and try to figure out what's going on, but eventually she fades away, begging for them to find her.

Throughout the episode we also get clips of the Glitch Productions crew noticing there's something weird going on with Luke's computer, and just after the scene where Tari disappears, so does a file with her name on it...which then reappears on a different computer in an unfamiliar room.

The Tari Parable

Tari wakes up in an empty office building with no memory of how she got there, and meets a man named Stanley and a disembodied voice called The Narrator, who inform her that she's in their game, and as far as they no there's no way out. Then again, there shouldn't be a way in either, so the three of them explore every nook and cranny to figure out how she got there and see if her outside-context abilities can make them an exit. All the while, Tari is glitching in a similar way to how Theo did throughout the Meta Runner series, since she wasn't properly implemented due to her captor's experience.

Speaking of which, towards the end of the episode we see said captor, who is on the phone with someone talking about how he managed to get Tari and asking them to come over and see for themselves.

Mario's Grand Internet Adventure!

Back at Glitch Productions, everyone's freaking out about Tari's disappearance. They eventually manage to get ahold of themselves thanks to some forceful prompting from Meggy and Mario, who are extremely determined to get their best friend back. SMG4 gets in contact with the AvA crew (who they met during the Goomba arc if you remember) since they have more experience interacting with the Real World than the Super Mario 64 characters. Eventually, Melony, Yellow, Sage and the Admins manage to trace the hack, and determine that the best way to get there is to send a team through the Internet. The crew (full extended version, Shroomy, the Guards and the kids included) is obviously going, with Belle and Bowser joining them on the grounds that Tari is their friend too. While they're gone, SMG1 and 2 will be handling 3 and 4's duties, and Kaizo, Steve, the remaining Anti-cast and other side characters will do their best to keep the Kingdom safe.

Thankfully that won't be too hard, since currently Mr. L is their greatest immediate threat and he's found out about the situation and decided to follow the away team and cause problems for the hell of it.

With preparations made, it's time for a new adventure!

Alright. Since that Kian Brose guy's funny little lawsuit against Mojang AB seems to be picking up steam, let me just point this out:

Kian's whole argument hinges on the idea that Mojang didn't update their End User License Agreement and Terms of Service before they cracked down on gun game servers and other "adult content". Ironically, he didn't even get an e-mail because his server wasn't up and running at the time. He found this out through a Tweet by TheMisterEpic. Even so, here's the thing…

They didn't have to update their EULA and TOS at that time. All they had to do was inform him and others of the pending updates, which they did.

Straight from the Minecraft EULA from May 2023, before the e-mails were sent, and before the EULA was changed:

We may change this EULA from time to time, if we have reason to, such as changes to our games, our practices, or our legal obligation. But those changes will be effective only to the extent that they can legally apply. For example if you use the Game only in single-player mode and don't use the updates we make available then the old EULA applies but if you do use the updates or use parts of the game that rely on our providing ongoing online services then the new EULA will apply. In that case we'll inform you of the change before it takes effect, either by posting a notice on our Website or by other reasonable means. We're not going to be unfair about this though - but sometimes the law changes or someone does something that affects other users of the Game and we therefore need to put a lid on it.

With the help of ChatGPT, here are the key phrases from the EULA paragraph above:

“We may change this EULA from time to time” – This allows Mojang to update the EULA as needed.

“if we have reason to, such as changes to our games, our practices, or our legal obligation” – Justifies changes based on various factors like game updates or legal requirements.

“changes will be effective only to the extent that they can legally apply” – Clarifies that changes will only be applied where legally permissible.

“we’ll inform you of the change before it takes effect” – The important one. This indicates that users will be notified before changes are implemented.

“We’re not going to be unfair about this” – Reinforces Mojang’s commitment to fairness when making changes. This one isn't legally relevant, but it's a nice touch.

These phrases support Mojang’s position of transparency and fairness under the law, and it very damaging to Kian's case. So… yeah. He can throw however-many millions of Swedish Krona that he wants at it, but unless Mojang and/or Microsoft decide to just roll over, for whatever reason (probably PR and good will reasons), there's no real way he can win.

Not unless his lawyer is the Swedish equivalent of Johnnie Cochran, anyway…

Mojang lawsuit link. I figured this would be a good place to help spread the news about the lawsuit.

Protecting intellectual property is crucial for any successful video game franchise. Recently, two industry titans, Ubisoft and Microsoft, took a stand against the unauthorized sale of merchandise related to their popular titles, Assassin's Creed and Minecraft. These lawsuits highlight the ongoing battle against counterfeiting within the gaming industry. Ubisoft and Microsoft Sue Over A Multi-Platform Assault: Targeting Unlicensed Merchandise Both Ubisoft and Microsoft filed lawsuits targeting the sale of unlicensed merchandise on various online marketplaces. These marketplaces, including iOffer, Wish, Amazon, Walmart, and eCRATER, allegedly hosted third-party sellers offering counterfeit products that infringed upon the intellectual property rights of the respective companies. Deception Through Imitation: The Problem of Counterfeit Merchandise The lawsuits allege that the infringing merchandise uses recognizable elements from the Assassin's Creed and Minecraft franchises. These imitations are likely designed to deceive consumers into believing they are purchasing genuine, officially licensed products. Ubisoft specifically mentions that counterfeit sellers leverage SEO (Search Engine Optimization) tactics to gain a higher ranking in online searches compared to legitimate merchandise. This deceptive practice makes it difficult for consumers to find authentic products and increases the likelihood of them unknowingly purchasing counterfeits. A Persistent Problem: The Elusive Nature of Counterfeiters One of the significant challenges in combating counterfeit merchandise is the sellers' ability to evade detection and legal repercussions. The lawsuits mention that these sellers have employed tactics like changing company names or utilizing websites hosted on non-US servers to avoid previous litigation attempts. This highlights the need for a multi-pronged approach, combining legal action with cooperation from online marketplaces to effectively shut down counterfeit operations. Protecting Intellectual Property: The Goals of the Lawsuits Both Ubisoft and Microsoft aim to achieve specific outcomes through their respective lawsuits: Cease: The lawsuits seek to permanently halt the sale of unlicensed merchandise by the targeted sellers. This would prevent further infringement on their intellectual property rights. Preventative Measures: The lawsuits aim to establish legal precedents that discourage future attempts at counterfeiting these franchises' merchandise. Damages Recovery: Ubisoft has estimated damages of $2 million per intellectual property violation, indicating their intent to recover compensation for lost sales due to counterfeit products. Identifying the Source: While the initial lawsuits do not name specific sellers, a critical next step involves identifying the manufacturers and distributors in China, the primary source of many counterfeit goods. A Broader Issue: The Impact of Counterfeit Merchandise Counterfeit merchandise poses a significant threat to the video game industry beyond lost revenue for developers and publishers. Here's a breakdown of some of the negative consequences: Consumer Harm: Counterfeit products are often of inferior quality and may not meet safety standards. This can put consumers at risk and damage the reputation of the original brand. Loss of Jobs: The sale of counterfeit merchandise undercuts legitimate businesses and can lead to job losses within the gaming industry. Erosion of Trust: The prevalence of counterfeits can erode consumer trust in established brands and make it difficult for them to compete in the marketplace. FAQs Q: Why are Ubisoft and Microsoft suing over counterfeit merchandise? Ubisoft and Microsoft are suing to protect their intellectual property rights and prevent the sale of unlicensed merchandise that infringes upon their popular franchises, Assassin's Creed and Minecraft. Q: What are the risks of buying counterfeit video game merchandise? Counterfeit merchandise is often of inferior quality and may not meet safety standards. Additionally, purchasing counterfeits hurts the video game industry and can lead to job losses. Q: How do counterfeiters evade litigation? A: Some counterfeiters change company names or host websites on non-US servers to avoid legal repercussions, as highlighted in Ubisoft's lawsuit.
