There are some grievances with minecraft recently Someone is suing mojang because they break EU/Swedish law (It was a youtube video worth watching) Minecraft bedrock is having some incredibly shitty tactics to move people towards their marketplace while community calling it bugrock I don't think that many people who play Minecraft really appreciate Mojang being bought by Microsoft. Many are oblivious to the fact sure but overall, community's sentiment is negative towards Microsoft buying Mojang imo.

I don't own a Windows computer so I only play the Java Edition, which still shockingly gets regularly updates and is very mod-friendly even still. When MS bought Minecraft I assumed that they were going to drop support for the Java version but I was clearly wrong about that. Didn't know about the lawsuit though, I will give that a look.

  Mojang and apparently someone at Microsoft who listens are smart enough to know that while most of the Minecraft revenue comes from bugrock, 99% of YouTube content comes from Java. They need that and the modding community to keep the game alive so that new players buy a copy on phone/console/etc.

  > When MS bought Minecraft I assumed that they were going to drop support for the Java version but I was clearly wrong about that Oh they sure wish that but the community loves java and for a good reason actually but their first step towards this was migrating mojang accounts into microsoft accounts as previously bedrock had microsoft accounts iirc and java had mojang accounts and microsoft accounts both but they have now blocked mojang accounts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_UF_4gZclI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_UF_4gZclI (Mojang screwed us, now we're suing them)

  > which still shockingly gets regularly updates AFAIK Java Edition is still the actual development branch. Mojang develops new updates for Java Edition first, then lets another team port them to Bedrock.

I assume you're referring to Kian Brose v. Mojang? [0] A class action, where the EULA was updated without full consent being sought correctly.
