Kian Brose Is Suing Minecraft
In the video, Kian Brose explains how Mojang changed its content policy to ban all guns from servers that were used for commercial purposes, claiming that guns went against their brand and commercial guidelines. They also mentioned that keeping guns violated the End User License Agreement. However, the problem is that despite this ban, the Minecraft Marketplace still has mods that include bombs, guns, blasters, and other weapons. Kian says that his server, MC Wars, along with other servers that used weapon mods, had to forcefully shut down because of the sudden change in policy. He adds that when he tried to contact Mojang for clarification, he received no response. He also claims that the developers ignored his requests multiple times and never gave a clear answer to his questions.Ā IShowSpeedās Dog in Minecraft Hardcore Mode Game Kills Kai Cenatās Character, Viral Video Sparks Hilarious Reactions Online.
Kian Brose Starts Lawsuit Against Minecraft
Kian them reached out to Swedish regulatory authorities and organisations and even bodies related to EULA to begin legal action. However, he was told that there werenāt enough grounds to pursue a case. This response led him to start his own lawsuit against Minecraft with the aim of holding the company responsible for breaking rules.
Kian also launched a GoFundMe page to raise money for his legal battle with the plans of hiring private lawyers or law firms. He believes that Mojang is deliberately keeping its terms and guidelines vague and unclear to create legal loopholes. According to him, this is a clear violation of the EULA. This is his main reason for the lawsuit.
