> you'll need a Microsoft account to play the Java Edition. I'm surprised that the GDPR allows companies to require an online account to play the offline version of a game (or to engineer a game to require an online account). It certainly doesn't seem like users will be meaningfully consenting to the (presumably) new terms and conditions if Microsoft are threatening to brick their existing copy of Minecraft if they don't agree. Perhaps only new versions of the game will require the new account, though.
