A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Huh? Nothing on the subreddit could possibly qualify for a copyright claim. User generated content about a videogame has never been the intellectual property of the developers, and thank God it isn't.
Addressing your first point though, I'm not even sure that the sub was ever officially "owned", by Mojang, but if it was then they've transferred ownership, as the sub is still active and running under the original mod team.
Oh, so the sub will keep going. Thanks.
Likely yes, they do. See this that explains it, I know I found it quite informative.
Nintendo orders the takedowns of let's play videos on YouTube, which is valid (legally speaking) because the majority of the video is straight gameplay footage. The subreddit does not typically have videos, most people post images or make discussion posts. Game developers do not own discussion about their game.
