I’ve been playing it a fair bit, a little rough around the edges in some parts but it’s very fun, and I think it has a good future.
Is this anything like og cube world, before the official release?
Not on Steam, using their proprietary launcher and careful language about their level of support for Linux.
I know this dance, I’m not falling for it.
I assume they decided not to publish on Steam because of their proximity to Minecraft, whose players are already used to having an extra launcher.
Not on Steam
Not wanting to give the 30% cut is legit.
Sure. So is me not giving them 100% due to their decision of not being in a trusted platform.
As with all games, don’t buy it for what it could be, only buy it if it’s good value right now.

Not tried it but it’s a Flatpak. I’d say it’s a positive.
And according to their own server manual, they might be supporting in-game pay shops for servers in the future.
Future Additions – Integrated Payment System
A payment gateway built into the client that servers can use to accept payments from players. Optional but encouraged.
So I’m happy to wait to see how hard they’re going to be pushing this and MTX in general …

The group that originally started development and shelled out to buy the IP back from Riot owns Hypixel, the largest MTX Minecraft server on the internet.
Played it for about 5 hours, really fun so far but I have no idea how much there is yet since it just released in EA. I didn’t buy it, got it through other means, and won’t give them my money until full release and only if they do well with monetisation, this Linux support, controller support etc.
Which distro/de do you use?
