I have no problem with this as long as the data is Mincraft related only

I have no problem with them knowing what my PC is capable of and how long i play the game. If it does anything it will help to improve how the game works and that can only be a good thing right?

Somehow because he asked and explained why im cool with that. Also he probably does this to reduce illegal copies.

this is nothing bad if it’s anything it’s a fucking awesome thing he’s doing this cause if a new patch comes out they can see how long people have been playing it and then that would be a true raw number and not some people going on the forum saying

“we love this new patch bra”

and this way they know what to add and when to add it and what will change what like the snap shots that jeb always releases before the update

so i say yes to this and think it’s a wanderful idea

Indeed. Even though it’s anonymous data, people still don’t trust developers tracking data. It’s kinda funny.

Just like Bungie.net and CoD’s equivalent, just MineCraft, so I have no problem with it.

I honestly don’t see the danger in giving all pc specs. What can people do with that info? Nothing?

Probably due to the love of Indie devs. Notch is well respected so when he asks for something from the community, they’ll be more than happy to do it for him. The same thing happened with Valve and Steam. And you can see the opposite effect with EA, where they don’t ask if they can do it and people get very angry :p

Haha! Anonymous user data to Minecraft, everyone loves it. Anonymous user data to ANYONE ELSE, everyone hates it.
