As of late, probably Microsoft does it the least, unintuitively enough.

  I just left my account to die, can't even be bothered to try to convert it to MS. It's dead, Jim.

  As a last resort, they can use TLauncher...

  Eh, Bedrock is a much easier sell to my friends than Java was back in the day. Even the least technical manage to play together.

    Remember when two decades ago even the dumbest kid could figure out how to punch an ip address into teamspeak and CS1.6?

      I think you'd be a little privileged if you had a gaming PC and internet in 2003.

        I guess it depends where you live? In the Western would that should be pretty normal. Not that everybody had it, a lot of people just didn't care, but if you wanted to be online with a low-tier gaming rig it's not like that cost an arm and a leg. And people played CS on full-on potatoes back in the day. 512*384 low details software renderer with 15fps.

    There's a heck of a lot fewer mods, and they're far less interesting. Not to mention its redstone leaves something to be desired.

      I don't think my crew was ever super into mods. When we ran servers the most we would add was WorldEdit and /home commands. I had one friend super into Tekkit but frankly "automate things so you can automate those things better" games never appealed to me a ton.

        Tekkit was absolute ages ago... Take a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR8W-f9YhYA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR8W-f9YhYA

  New Teams is actually much better imo. The way they’re murdering Outlook though…

    I think it is matter of who it used to what. I was working with web version of Outlook for a long time and loved it. Now I am forced to use old one and hate it.

    Outlook gets my eternal disdain because it still does not understand HTML written after 2006. It's so bad, we have a dedicated email HTML person.

    Now I just need that on linux… They even killed the linux app and just want you to use it via prog. Webapp. Its awful.

    > New Teams is actually much better That's such a low bar. I'm still on "classic" at work, and I can't imagine what they would have to do to make it worse.

  Teams was built in-house, right? Whose existing customers did they fuck over?
