Thanks to Tununias for the link.
Minecraft, a game owned by software giant Microsoft, has decided to no longer post official updates on reddit. Emphasis mine.
As you have no doubt heard by now, Reddit management introduced changes recently that have led to rule and moderation changes across many subreddits. Because of these changes, we no longer feel that Reddit is an appropriate place to post official content or refer our players to.
We want to thank you for all the feedback and discussion you've participated in in past changelog threads. You are of course welcome to post unofficial update threads going forward, and if you want to reach the team with feedback about the game, please visit our feedback site at feedback.minecraft.net or contact us on one of our official social media channels.
Kind of feels like it is pretty huge to have a subsidiary of a major corporation admitting they don't feel like officially participating in a subreddit is a safe thing to do in respect to their branding anymore.
I also find it quite funny that Microsoft feels the need to give us permission to still post "unofficial update threads." We're welcome to, so they say. Ha. Isn't that what people were doing on reddit before they showed up?

Surely can’t be good for a potential IPO
I honestly kind of can't wait for the IPO, I just want to see what happens
They'll ban porn and put the final nail in the coffin. No one there cares what happens to reddit as long as they get a fat payday. They'll move on to the next big business venture where they can ruin something else in the name of getting money.
I wonder what of investor looks at reddit and thinks that banning porn will increase user engagement or any other meaningful metric.
But we have to get Presbyterian soccer moms in Peoria to join the platform!
