For anyone left behind, Minetest is a community-developed alternative.
It's more of a game engine/launcher + highly moddable, so the base game is rather minimalistic, but you can simply install more extensive games. For example, for a very Minecraft-like experience, MineClone2 is your best bet.
Can't migrate. Will not accept ULA. I now have to rely on pirated version for a game I paid twice. This does not make sense.
This is bullshit. What could it possibly matter to them, other than to force people onto their miserable platform. Bastards.
They don’t want to hire people to build and maintain a secure login platform when their parent company already has one. This is way more work and liability than most people realize.
Authentication servers do not run themselves, they need babysitting and patching and upgrading because this is users' passwords and secrets. Microsoft obviously does not want to keep managing this old login system because it's miserable unrewarding janitorial work for a sysadmin or a developer.
It's been ten years. This is not at all unreasonable.
I know you bought your car 10 years ago, but you refused to make an account with the company that bought your car dealer out after you bought a car from them, so now we're repossessing it.
Of course it is. I bought a product I can no longer use without signing away privacy after the fact. Not that I've played Minecraft in the last 10 years but still.
It's a shame Minecraft got bought and put on the windows store and mobile. For a while there kids actually learned what java was and had to move files around to install mods and skins. Now they're all computer illiterate again.
