So you are blaming Minecraft for bad grades, huh? Im 15. Have played Minecraft for 3 years so far and [with the exception of German in year 8 which sucked] I never dropped below a B. Now I run my own server, even though GCSE year is a bad time to do so [THATS why servers have staff] , and am predicted 6 A* and 3 As for them. As for your comment on VIP packs, yes, they have no real In-Life benefits to the player who buys them, but they keep the servers running. With the exception of servers like Hypixel's and MCSG ect where they do strongly emphasyse the so called need to buy overpriced donation packs which for them DON'T go to keeping the server alive, most servers need donations to survive and very few are spamming players with messages about buying those packages. And if this is a kids game, stop swearing.
