Minecraft, the IP game that Microsoft newly acquired with $2.5 Billion was announced not to be applied to the new rules that Microsoft executed for YouTube and Twitch.
Recently, Microsoft announced that people are allowed to use their games for personal and non-commercial use as long as they followed a set of rules. From Microsoft Game Content Usage Rule, you can make YouTube and Twitch videos with their games except Minecraft which retains its own guideline.
Some of these rules prohibit users from reverse engineering games to "access the assets or otherwise do things that the games don't normally permit," or creating content that is "pornographic, lewd, obscene, vulgar, discriminatory (on the basis of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, etc.), illegal, hate speech, promoting violence, drug use or any illegal activity, promoting crimes against humanity, genocide or torture, or is otherwise objectionable."
"Whether an Item is 'objectionable; is up to us, but you can expect us to be concerned if a significant number of people in the game’s community or the public at large report the content as offensive," Microsoft said.
You also can't earn compensation with derivative works by selling it or through advertisements, unless you're posting it to YouTube and Twitch.
While Minecraft is a bit more lax, allowing users to create and sell whatever content they want as long as its clear that it's not an official Minecraft product.
Fellow players, how about your opinion about this change?
