MC: Consequences Edition

Hello,

You are receiving this notice because you at one point had submitted the participation form to be part of the class action lawsuit against Mojang, the developers of the game Minecraft.

Based on the answers that you have provided, you meet the participation criteria to be able to take part in the class action lawsuit defined as such:

  • You were under 18 years of age at the time of purchase
  • You purchased the game prior to the 10th of December 2013
  • You live/reside in a EU / EEA member state (european country / part of the european economic area)

If you need a reminder of what happened, feel free to refer to the videos that were published regarding this case: https://www.youtube.com/@KianBrose

The class action lawsuit has already been filed in Stockholm, Nacka court, with case number T 5478-26.

We believed that the court would properly be able to manage its necessary administrative duties with the participants regarding them being responsible for sending out these “you qualify” notices, but unfortunately they’ve done a rather terrible job as the emails they sent were either not received, sent to spam, were missing text from both the title and content of the actual email, poorly translated instructions and so on.

Due to that poor management, we’ve decided to send out this email to the participants directly to make sure that you get notified and know exactly what must be done before the 25th of September 2026 (before roughly 3 weeks).

In short, Sweden’s legal system works in an “opt in” way which requires participants to explicitly and directly say that they want to participate.

Since the court partially failed to send the very emails with the document that had to be sent back to them to confirm participation, on top of the lack of information, poor instructions and bad translations, we’ve streamlined the process to make this easier for you.

This is the original notice that the court was supposed to send: https://lawsuit.gg/documents/court-notice-2026-08-21.pdf

It’s a rather long pdf in both Swedish and poorly translated English, with one form available in both Swedish and English that has to be filled in and sent back to the court.

To facilitate the process of filling it in (because the court thought it would be a good idea to force people to print it out and scan physical paper, not even making the pdf digitally fillable), we’ve created the following page that can generate the filled in pdf page for you, where all you have to do after filling it in and downloading the generated one is to send it to the court:

http://lawsuit.gg/confirmation
 

The signature doesn’t need to be perfect, just close enough.
This form will only have to be sent to the court directly and no one else.

Once you have the pdf downloaded, send it to the following email address which is section 2 of the court that manages the class action lawsuit:

nacka.tingsratt.avdelning2@dom.se

You may use any subject line, something like “T 5478-26 Participation Notice” should suffice.

ONCE YOU SEND IT, THE COURT SHOULD SEND AN AUTOMATED CONFIRMATION (in Swedish) CONFIRMING THAT THEY RECEIVED YOUR EMAIL AND WILL GET BACK TO YOU.

It may take a few hours for you to receive the notice, but as we’ve been made aware, their systems are spaghetticoded and sometimes the notices don’t go through at all. Because of this, IF YOU DIDN’T RECEIVE THE CONFIRMATION WITHIN A DAY SEND IT AGAIN.

The confirmation of your participation needs to have been sent in before the 25th of September, at which point entry will no longer be possible.

I would recommend reading the English section of the document they sent out even if it’s poorly translated, which is available here: https://lawsuit.gg/documents/court-notice-2026-08-21.pdf

The three most common questions that we’ve gotten so far are as follows:

- What does “Printed name” mean in the form?

This is a poorly translated “Namnförtydligande” which basically means signature clarification. If your signature is written in an unreadable doctor font, that’s just supposed to be a readable version of it.

- Does the “under 18 at the time of registration” mean if I was under 18 when I bought the game?

No, this is again poorly translated. This should only be checked if you are CURRENTLY, as of NOW, under 18 years old, and thus require permission from your parents to participate.

- Am I liable for any costs if we were to lose?

The court added the following statement: “As a rule, group members, who are not parties, are not liable for any legal costs. Please note, however, that there are exceptions to this rule.”.
We’ve confirmed with our lawyers that this wouldn’t apply if you are a regular participant, in other words you have no risk of facing any costs.
The exceptions they are referring to are if you:
A. Decide to launch a separate class action lawsuit yourself, linking it to this one
or
B. Take over the position of group representative for the current class action lawsuit which I (Kian) currently have

If you have any questions about the process, feel free to reach out ideally via email or discord.
