Minecraft players outraged as Microsoft deletes accounts that weren't transitioned - sh.itjust.works

I’m glad I literally JUST bought a copy of Minecraft so I didn’t have to deal with this mess.

But unfortunately I have to deal with Microsoft shenanigans now. And I can’t even play the worse version on Linux.

How is it a mess? They gave people YEARS with constant reminders and it takes like half a minute to do. Anyone having issues with this is a fucking idiot and deserves to loose their account.

It was not a simple process. I’ve been trying for years to migrate, and gave up because it wasn’t worth the hassle. I have been playing Minecraft since the alpha, and I have bought the game several times over.

To know that my account is now simply gone means that I’m just that much less likely to return. If I have to rebuild, I’ll invest my time in a game that won’t be taken away from me.
