I'm actually going assume they (ESA) meant the Minecraft DRM servers and not the hosting and playing with friends servers, because they refer to 'counterfeiting and piracy' lawsuits right afterwards. I mean its easy to say they don't know the difference but I'd suspect this was a little more malicious.

Of all the hot takes in the world, that statement is the dumbest thing I have ever heard someone say. Completely out-of-touch with the case, with the subject and with the games referenced. It is literally wronger than Flat Earth and young earth creationism in a single sentence. I would quote Bully Madison but even that wouldnt suffice.

Why is the European Space Agency doing this instead of a moon program or something? /j

I’m sorry, WHAT? How fucking stupid do you have to be to think that this makes any sense.

They don't know the difference. Oh, you're right, that was easy.

What are minecraft drm servers?
30 Jun 2026 20:26
Did they let their members know this before they implemented private matches and server browsers in their games?

When you buy Minecraft, it associates a game license to your Microsoft ID. So when you sign in to the launcher, the DRM server is what it checks with to make sure you own and can play Minecraft before letting you in.

They probably meant to say servers that allow pirated clients to connect. The official server config used to have that option - not sure if it still does.

I had to google ESA multiple times because I kept getting AI summaries for the space agency.
