I expect the answer is very little -- except they'd have to re-purchase Minecraft on the new account.

- robonerd 4y agoIsn't the whole point of the new Microsoft account system that Microsoft now more or less knows who is actually behind each Minecraft account? I refused to migrate my account, but some of my friends have reported being made to hand over their phone numbers to Microsoft to continue playing on their legit accounts. To most of the population, handing over a phone number might as well be their government ID.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoMy daughter is 8 and a) has a Microsoft account, b) doesn’t have a phone. It’s been long enough I don’t remember what we needed to establish her account but it wasn’t onerous.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoWhy would you need to repurchase? I play with my daughter and we log in each other’s accounts. The login to the Microsoft account is inside the game - it’s not associated with the launch.
