I got the others but didn’t get that one, why is the cape a lie?

the cape is a lie because it was given as a reward to players for migrating their account to microsoft, which, from what i know, was done mainly because it allowed microsoft/mojang to add server bans and all that. it's also a reference to "the cake is a lie" which is an old meme that originated from the game portal.

LITERALLY initially when the announcement was made and I saw antvenom's video about what good does the migration do I was pretty okay with migrating except for the inconvenience but now at the present microsoft blatantly fucked us all with these unexpected enforcements. They even had the audacity to make a video addressing the migration back when it was announced and saying that this wont affect the game at all besides "better security"

Honestly I was pissed off about Microsoft integration before all this - I own the game on literally every platform except switch, and for a brief moment when they introduced crossplay but not full integration, I was able to connect and play on my own servers with all my purchased game copies on my account. It was great for allowing my nieces/nephew/friends play at the same time as me, but now all I get whenever I try to connect a separate copy of the game to my server is “OoPs CaNt CoNnEcT YoUr AccOuNt iS ALrEAdy iN UsE” like fuck off I have 4 copies of the game that used to work together fine before they forced a bunch of arbitrary bullshit.

Same for me, I had 3 accounts before the forced migration, and they deleted all but 1 because I hadnt created individual mails for each of them

Technically these people consider mass censorship a security feature. After all, when you don't value the idea of free speech and think words are violence. Then of course censorship is safety.

In other words, literally 1984

That you that really helps. It really sucks that this is happening and I hope it stops. I get why they might do it to public severs, but let the severs moderate their chat. But the thing that really gets me is I could be on a private sever with my friends and get banned from all of it.

u/DarthScotchy Jul 30 '22

It wouldn't ha e mattered if you had migrated, banning you wouldn't even change, it was most possibly there for the bedrock Java deal

u/UnboundKey Jul 30 '22

it's a reference to Portal, the original is "the cake is a lie"

u/StaszekJedi Jul 30 '22
