They're adding more mobs than just the mob vote mobs though. The next update has at least another hostile mob with a unique structure and new blocks and mechanics. And they don't want to overcrowd the game with just a lot of mobs because they want to support the game for 50 years. If they add twenty mobs a year the game is going to be oversaturated very quickly. They want to add mobs that tie into the game's systems in unique ways instead of just churning out mobs.

Accusing Mojang of greed is so fucking weird, Java Edition - the one that Mojang develops - is a one-time purchase with non-conditional lifetime updates. I bought the game for €5, 13 years ago(!) and they're still updating it.

Russia uses cluster bombs too though? Cluster bombs are bad because unexploded munitions are a lot like mines. The fighting is happening in Ukraine, not in Russia, and Ukraine is already littered with mines and unexploded munitions because of Russia's use of both from the start of the war.

Sorry but reality doesn't stroke with your concerns. Old people are stuck in car centric cities when they can no longer drive. Disabled people are stuck in car centric cities when they cannot drive. Cities that prioritize other modes of transport have more options available to both groups and you're mad over nothing.

Edit: just look at Dutch walkable cities as an example - they're perfectly accessible for old people and disabled people. Sorry but the idea disabled people can only use cars and need car-centric infrastructure to live in a city is delusional.

What? I said it depends on the disability. Depending on why you can't walk to the store, a bike or e-bike might work. Not every disability is the same. I know people that can't walk to the store but can use an e-bike.

How is a mobility scooter too small for a disabled person? It's literally designed for the purpose. And by Microcar I mean what you see in Amsterdam as microcars, not 'a small car'.

this was a funny meme to me thanks

I'm a bit floored by this being a question at all, my condolences. Depending on the disability, a bike, e-bike, mobility scooter, or microcar.

It's fine if you disagree with their design philosophy. They don't want 8 extra plants made by an intern in their game though and that's their prerogative.

I wish they would go back and do something with the mobs they did add that add nothing. We definitely do not need more of them.

Apart from a period where Mojang added useless creatures like the polar bear, it's not comparable. The vast majority of things Mojang adds, they try to add a unique slant that makes the addition relevant in some way. Mo Creatures mobs are almost all useless apart from looking different. The sniffer has unique mechanics, adding 500 plants would not make it any more mechanically interesting. They're not looking to drown the game in retextures.

No he didn't? He said it will have consequences for Ukraine. It's his job to worry about that.

I haven't experienced this at all, but I might not be viscerally bothered by a trans person existing to the point of ruining the movie for me.

Look at the Netherlands for a good example then. Private schools aren't banned but public schools are so good even the princesses go to them. You're just so used to public schools being underfunded that you think they can't work. The reason you'd want to ban private schools is because it creates an incentive for the rich and powerful to fix your shitty public schools.
