But didn't they also target minecraft not that long ago? Was there even a proper reason for that.

Good for them. It's fine for organisations like the KKK and Westboro to exist and receive funding under the notion of 'freedom of expression', yet the moment a non-citizen releases neither shocking nor top secret information the US suddenly goes all Soviet Union on them.

That was a group of Minecraft fansites and forums that decided enough was enough and they wanted they're updates. So they took down the means to actually update the game.

Exactly why im saying you know somethings wrong when they're the only ones doing the right thing But yeah there was a reason, not a very good one though (what fez said)

4chan has nothing to do with this, it may have some members in the group from the /b/ but thats all.
