![]() We either separate the creator from the creation, or there isn't any use for a Minecraft launcher, open-source or otherwise.ĮDIT: On the contributors, he said he removed people's permissions. I'm just one voice, but that attitude, if present, is not healthy for the community long term.įinally, I would like to point to the irony of this project being considered compromised due to these circumstances when it's a launcher for a game made by Notch. If there were people who feel inherently uncomfortable with using software made by a right-winger, that would justify the urgency. I don't see any malicious commits, and even if there were any, the more level-headed response would be to reach out to distro/repo maintainers and ask them not to update the package until further notice. The urgency of the message ("remove it immediately") on Twitter particularly is IMO unwarranted. That said, I think the only reason the community is rallying around this is because of the politics of it. I personally wish PrismLauncher the best of luck.

Sadly, this means the various videos and guides I did on PolyMC are no longer valid, and so I will be looking to cover other launchers in future. There's nothing to indicate malware or anything like that but any trust is simply gone, who knows what they would do next? You should 100% consider PolyMC to be compromised and move onto another launcher. What they've done is only show how they are completely untrustworthy, and they've basically killed the project. Regardless on your views, this kind of behaviour is not something anyone of any sane mind should support. In a message in the PolyMC Discord, they said this: People thought they got hacked but unfortunately this person seemingly just decided to attack others. ![]() After that, they then kicked out the other developers from the project in some kind of completely hostile takeover.
