Migration to Microsoft is a disaster From brilliant indie game to a borderline criminal money grab scheme. Shame. My kids grew up with Minecraft but we're looking for alternatives. Funny thing is I'd gladly pay for as many cross platform licenses as my family requires and for whatever premium features we found useful. If not forced to do it... Instead we're going to stick to the single PE license. Not as an act of defiance or anything such but rather not to be screwed again.

2nd best game hands down Love this game, been playing since Beta. I only play single player but better Linux support for versions other than Java Edition would be much appreciated. * mutters terraria is better.

I bought the game back in 2010 I bought the game back in 2010, with a licence that was supposed to last in perpetuity, however, now the game isn't working anymore. I contacted customer service and turns out they have dropped the old licences, without letting original owners know that they made that change. I never received any communications from Mojang, Minecraft or Microsoft (which apparently now owns the game) about any such change. It is a really misguided way to treat customer's who had been with you from the beginning, shame on you! Cannot recommend this company.

Minecraft is alright game I have been playing Minecraft for more than a year. losing access to your Microsoft account is or if your account is suspended or something like that. You will lose access to Minecraft. I enjoyed the old days without worrying about losing your Microsoft account. You will be able to play Minecraft without a Microsoft account.

Minecraft is fun! Minecraft.net is more of the customer service and merch store of Minecraft. But it also has the Community tab, where it posts updates and other cool stuff. Minecraft itself is very enjoyable and the things you can build just with blocks are very amusing. There are multiple Minecraft games but the one that I recommend is Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. It's the cheapest and it gives the full experience that Java Edition has besides mods and snapshots. Though Minecraft Education Edition is free, it does not give the full experience that Bedrock or Java gives (Bedrocks is around $5 and Java is around $25). Other Minecraft games are Minecraft Dungeons, Minecraft Earth (Though it is not running anymore).
