Prepare for a lengthy post y’all.
My only stance on this whole issue is just that like, it’s completely possible that by contacting anyone from external platform, that person can have the malicious intent of finding personal information about you (the recipient). It’s not the most common occurrence in the world but it happens enough to scare me away from that sort of thing.
Whether it’s hacking into internal biometric systems to find your location or simply finding matching profile info of yours on different parts of the web, it’s not a bet Makecode or Microsoft is willing to take (I’d have to imagine). To put it simply, what can seem like a roadblock can actually be the thing that ends up keeping you safe.
Also, collaboration has been successfully executed multiple times:
- The Biggest Smash Bros Game
- MakeCode Kart
- Maybe even unofficial tourneys if you wanna be technical
It’s a bottleneck don’t get me wrong, but it’s not out of spite or misunderstanding, only our safety.
Alright I’ma wrap this up, it’s like 1am I gotta sleep. Basically, I’m fine with the rule. I believe that if you aren’t too fond with the rule, probably just reconsider the intentions of it. Go Collab or whatever else, but stay safe plzzzzz.
Alr byeeee!!!
