I’ve just watched the video. I find it pretty outrageous. The word about it should spread.

Minecraft being the best sold game while also extremely easy to pirate, lacking any real form of DRM apart from the official launcher simply not launching it into a non-"demo mode" session if you don't have a login is a testament to how piracy isn't always a danger.

Sure, Minecraft is really enhanced with multiplayer which is harder to do on a pirated copy, but there's nothing really unethical about that.
