Playing Minecraft 18.1 Java Edition.
I had killed the dragon about 10 years ago when I and my grandsons played Minecraft on my server.
They've gone on to girls and marriage so I play single player alone.
After I killed the Dragon I jumped into the return port and was greeted with the game credits, which happened ten years ago as well.
Except .... it took 65 minutes for the credits to roll by.
Ten years ago, IIRC, it took around 15 minutes, which seemed forever then.
It starts with one or more spirit beings talking about the player, as a scrolling script. A huge mystic word salad later, the people credits start rolling by, at about one person per second. Over two thousand people later it comes to and end and drops me back into the world.
Nearly everyone who is working or did work (Minecraft Alumni) on Minecraft actually works for a 3rd party head hunter, which supply coders, Q&A, testers, managers, lawyers, consultants to Microsoft and in exchange handle all the payroll withholding and such. Microsoft gets a single periodic bill which they write off entirely as a business expense.
I was hoping for an Easter egg or something similar but no joy.
Adios, Minecraft... it was fun while it lasted.

I logged in and sure enough, their buildings were destroyed and lava was poured all over everything. burning the wood and covering the stone. When I consulted the logs I found the IP address of the perp, One of the boys had shared the IP address and access data with his friend, the perp. Since the perp violated the DMCA I contacted his ISP, reported him, and sent him an email explaining why what he did was illegal. He responded by bragging about what he did and insulting me. I guess he thought he was immune from repercussions. The ISP cut his internet connection and canceled his account. I doubt if he learned anything from it. I didn't renew the Realm the next month. I created a fresh world on my computer and would mount it when Tyler called to let me know when he and his friends were going to play on it.
