PC players with old Mojang accounts were made to create and migrate to Microsoft accounts in order to continue playing. Either that or do what I did, and crack their launcher and only play on "offline mode" (no account verification) servers. Microsoft accounts ask for a lot of personal information that they simply don't need, and I feared that opting not to provide that personal information would likely put my account at risk for being capriciously banned by bureaucratic anti-botting systems in the future. Furthermore, should I ever need a Microsoft account for some more important reason, I would not want that connected to an account I game online with. Mixing work and play is a bad idea, and having two separate accounts seems like a likely setup for a capricious ban sometime in the future. So yeah, I once bought this game from Notch and had a legit account for it, but now I have to pirate it because Microsoft decided to get invasive and nosy.
