I’m sure it has nothing to do with me getting so much phone spam as to turn off my ringer.
Microsoft has been a real jerk with the Minecraft acquisition. It would be so much better for users had notch never sold. They are increasing prices, making it harder to start, removing mod functionality, and basically just all bad stuff.
> They are increasing prices
Same price as ever: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/store/minecraft-java-edition
> making it harder to start
Not sure what this is supposed to mean?
> removing mod functionality
The opposite of reality, for example they started releasing java mappings last year
> and basically just all bad stuff
Minecraft is more popular than ever, and other than the MS account stuff recent updates to the game have been positively received. Other conspiracy theories like "Microsoft will get rid of Java Edition and make bedrock the only version!" have not come to pass.
What I meant is that there are now micro transactions to buy cosmetic things. And ads in game, in windows, on Xbox, and everywhere to buy them.
Minecraft was a one time purchase and now it’s a service revenue stream. So as a gamer and a parent, the price is much higher.
Not to mention having different versions that don’t work together so there’s Java edition and bedrock that are different purchases. I also have multiple kids and Minecraft doesn’t let you share profiles so after hearing the kids argue over which skin to use I broke down and bought multiple accounts.
Microsoft made Minecraft a less fun game so they would make more money. The game made billions of dollars and that wasn’t enough. They wanted extra billions.
If you specifically mean Bedrock Edition has problems, I agree with you, but it's been that way for a long time.
