oh yea they gave the mob vote the axe, good on ya mojang! genuinely wasn't sure you could manage it
#june speaks#minecraft#mojang's been killin it with the little things lately#i was amazed to see em pull this off cuz they almost certainly had to tussle with microsoft over it#the mob vote has always been a neat lil marketing trick for generating engagement which is essnetially free advertising#so naturally even as it started to cause worse n worse problems microsoft probably didn't want it to stop#but now it's gone and we're all gonna be better off for it#it was cool at first but like#the increase over the years of criticisms towards how minecraft is developed#(which can get a bit silly sometimes but i think is better than simply kissing mojang's collective ass)#plus how disgustingly popular members of the community could easily skew the vote#it just wasn't workin out anymore. it just generated hostility in the community and animosity towards the devs#and i'll be honest as much as i want new content in the game i don't think a new mob every year is sustainable#that shit would bloat the game so badly#aside from the copper golem and the inferno all the vote mobs fall into three categories;#largely cosmetic and forgotten about until you stumblr upon one#useful to a very niche subset of players and ignored by everyone else#and hostile mob you would likely actively avoid#which isn't to say these sorts of things are bad! plenty of non vote mobs also fall into these#but we don't need one of those every single year
