When my Mojang account was forcibly transferred over to a Microsoft account, I suddenly no longer owned Minecraft.
And since I no longer had access to the email account I had used for the original purchase nine years prior, Microsoft support outright refused to even talk to me, unless I prove ownership beyond all doubt.
That I owned the email address currently linked to the account, and had played the game just a week before, and that I knew the security questions/answers wasn't proof enough for them. And yes I really KNEW all the security answers - as those were stored in my keepass.
They treated me like a criminal, and I never learned whether the game disappeared by accident, or if they removed it intentionally because some algorithm thought I got it illegitimately...
As far as I personally am concerned, they already did ruin Minecraft.
- herbst 3y agoSame. Haven't played Minecraft since then. I won't bother with Microsoft about this. And this from someone who did earn his income with this game. IMO they already ruined Minecraft by deciding to rewrite it and run with 2 complete seperate editions and only care about the -.NET- Bedrock one.
- FireInsight 3y agoI thought Bedrock edition was C++?
- herbst 3y agoNo idea honestly. The initial launcher updates definitely have been .NET and we're completely broken on Linux. I never went any deeper than accidentally updating the launcher back then.
- pjmlp 3y agoBedrock is in C++, and the development workflow is that many features are still first development in Java version, and then redone on the C++ later. Java version isn't going away, as Bedrock still doesn't support many of the scenarios, and Microsoft doesn't want to lose that userbase.
