Minecraft before Microsoft bought it out and forced me to make a Microsoft account just to play it.
At some point, I had stopped playing Minecraft and I had an account since alpha but because of their account migrations where I hadnโt created a new username on the 2nd sign on system and the fact that so no longer had a receipt, I wasnโt able to recover my account. It was quite disappointing.
But I bought an account to play on Windows in bedrock because my son started playing and he wanted to play together with me. We still play and we could play for hours, just exploring and mining for stuff.
