    These people had years to migrate their accounts, were told to migrate their accounts, and warned to migrate their accounts because the old mojang auth system is insecure and needs to be sunsetted, and when it does, they will lose access.

    They sat there and played the “no, I won’t move” game, and now they’re upset because the thing they were told for years would happen happened.

    And they would have had to have no social interaction with any minecraft player on any online platform and in real life in all those years, as well as ignore every email from mojang, never look at the minecraft website, and so on, to not be notified.

      I bought Minecraft when it was first purchaseable. Only converted my account last month as my new-school-entrant kid has asked what it is.

      And honestly, I wish I didn’t. The MS launcher is an absolute shit show in usability for adults, let alone kids. Next time it forces me to log back in I’m just pirating it.

      I bought two copies, I’ll fucking run them how I please.

        I’m amazed at how much better the official launcher is on Linux than on windows.

        Windows:

        • complains if your logged in account doesn’t match your game account
        • Requires you to log out of one account to log into another in a not very clear or user friendly way

        Linux

        • No logged in account to complain about
        • Lists all your accounts and lets you swap by clicking on the one you want in the accounts list
