- What'd they do now? Genuine question

  They use ai to generate inaccurate pages, cover up text with egregious ads and refuse to remove content written by dissatisfied, migrating users but mostly just make unusable websites in general (I'm sure there's even more reasons to boycott however)

Did they move to a non-commercial license, or was it like that when they first made the wiki on Wikia/Fandom?

Good for them. When RuneScape migrated, it was quite the headache. The Fandom pages were never taken down, and Google had the Fandom pages rated higher than the RuneScape.wiki pages. So anyone not aware of this just doing a simple Google search would get outdated data, which is a big deal for a game changing as quickly as RuneScape (I played RS3, not OSRS).

Hopefully it's an easier transition for Minecraft.
