Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

You need to convince both Microsoft and Mojang of what you want, present your case to them about getting Minecraft on Steam. Particularly when a good case is stated to them on the matter, an audience shows up and makes it clear there is a return on investment. shrugs Replying here doesn't really matter, unless you go to the Minecraft Forums and present your opinion, see what happens. That would be the most productive thing to do at this stage, as clearly you are convinced enough to stick with this idea.

I'm just a dude on the internet sharing his opinion that isn't based on pure facts. Based on casual observations (I since edited my initial reply about the cash cow nature as you were right...). I feel they don't care about Steam enough to put it on there as there have been no moves on their part to indicate any interest in years. I am no means an expert, I don't feel like I am being particularly condescending either. It just feels more likely to get a reworked version of Bedrock Minecraft that runs on all 3 platforms like Java currently does. It would essentially achieve the same aim and would be more likely to be realized. But, eh, it doesn't matter what I think unless I do the same. Stating my own case on the Minecraft Forums.
