Anything that makes companies lose the slightest bit of control they want to make illegal. If they can't endlessly milk you for money it's a problem.
If Minecraft came out today it would be a subscription service or at the very least would have season packs and cosmetics.
I think that if it came out today it would be nothing and fade away, a subscription would never have happened. Notch got very lucky that his particular game, out of the many similar games at the time caught on and was given the time to expand and iterate. Not that Minecraft didn't become quite cool, but I wish Zach from Zachtronics that made the game that inspired Minecraft (Infiniminer) had gotten more success from it. Then again, if he had, we might not have gotten all the wacky and cool games he released later.
