Yeah hey that game you bought? Fuck you, jump through hoops.
That's on you for buying a licence to play the game and not the actual game.
Fuck that stupid word game.
Finally did this a week or so back, I had one of the original accounts (username login, not email). Made me feel like shit and manipulated, all to make Microsoft happier.
Yup. I changed mine a while back for my kids to play with, and now it's all tied to MS. I considered buying another license, but screw em.
If you don't want to migrate to Microsoft check out minetest/mineclone for a free and open source alternative.
Tried it, unfortunately the (tedious) things that made me disinterested in MC were carried over (not wowed by other options, either).
I migrated my account ages ago, and I keep getting emails telling me to migrate anyway. These messages are sent to the Microsoft address I migrated to.
I contacted support, and they told me everything's fine, my account is properly migrated, and that I should ignore these messages, since they're probably attempts at phishing. (That look 100% legit, might I add. Nothing about these messages looks alarming or wrong in any way, which is what made me contact support in the first place.)
That microsoft account of mine never received any questionable messages before, so thanks for leaking my data to malicious actors, I guess.
It's been a really long time since I last played this, but wasn't the java edition the go-to for modding? Has that changed lately? If it hasn't it'd be a bit of bummer to lose that huge modding scene.
You should be playing better games, anyway https://www.vintagestory.at/
It really is. It's great seeing how much progress the game had made in a few years, although it's still far from perfect.
Interesting. Thank you!
I'd be happier if the site didn't violate the GDPR
A bit of added context:
They are based in Latvia, which is part of the EU, so subject to the GDPR. And under the GDPR, the use of Google Analytics is in fact unlawful without getting explicit and informed (that one's very important) consent from the user.
Article 44 is the relevant one here, detailing data transfers to so-called third countries outside the EU.
The trailer video makes it look full of micro-management. Micro-blocks to construct tools?
