Just imagine that one day it will happen the same way with Github. You will get the condescending bullshit explaining why it is a gift and so much better to you that you have a MS account...
The truth is that Microsoft makes it clear that: "all your data belongs to us"!
- Spivak 6y agoI mean they're all Microsoft accounts at the end of the day and it's naive to assume that just because the accounts are "separate" that there's no cross-pollination with data. It's not that hard to match accounts up when you generate reports. Internally this kind of stuff is always "why are we maintaining X different login systems?"
- greatgib 6y agoI think that it is more complex than it looks. First, separated dedicated account reduce the possibility to match it with other activities. And with a real Microsoft account you have no choice than being forced subscribed to a dozen service that you don't care like email and co, and so easily being bounded with a lot more data points, privacy and terms conditions. But also you will be forced to login and remain logged with such an account to play. You can not anymore throw and change your Minecraft account at will. Now this will be related to your whole Microsoft account that could be harder to change because you depend on it for other things. Think of the poor souls that do login on Windows with their Microsoft account to be able to use their computer!
