Literal theft on Microsofts end It is utterly atrocious to revoke older player licenses without notification, making me now spend 1.5 times what I originally spent on the game again AND register my address on a Microsoft account (I should not need to give up my private information to be able to play a game I already bought... twice) just to play this game. The licenses back then were supposed to give you ownership of the game, revoking them is completely unjust so remember, if buying something doesn't guarantee ownership then... well, you know how the saying goes.

Good game but incompetent devs The game is great at it's core, but it has some of the laziest and incompetent developers imaginable. They take almost a year to make each update and when it releases it's an unfinished and buggy mess which needs several patches for it to be playable. Both client and server performance is awful and keeps getting worse every update, to the point where you need to run multiple 3rd party optimizations to have a playable experience. The developers ignore game breaking exploits and major bugs and instead focus on adding useless features nobody asked for. It's a good game and definitely worth playing but the vanilla game could be a lot better, if it had decent devs.

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.

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.

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.
