Good job. Do Microsoft and Amazon next.
You can actually use windows without an account. When installing windows, they will force you to log in. But If you simply use an account that has been blocked it will create a local user instead of an online user. People use [email protected] and it works well
Thanks for the tip!
Or, when it looks like you no longer have a choice, click Back and you will then be given that choice.
Or just don't connect the PC to the internet during the installation.
I feel like Amazon would be easier than MS and Google, wouldn't it?
Yep, after you realize the majority of the stuff you can buy of Amazon is mass produced trash with zero quality. It was easy to remove.

Yeah. Deleting accounts, easy enough. Boycotting, much less-so.
Microsoft is already done same with google I have like one niche product that I have not found a place outside of lime a singular stellar on Amazon to buy from
but i don't want to lose my ability to play minecraft
(yes i know about minetest)
It was a hard decision for me to not migrate my mojang account, but it felt better after the deadline officially passed.
Just pirate it and play or host pirated servers. (You already paid for it anyway)
