On this day 10 years ago, Microsoft acquired #Minecraft developer Mojang for US$2.5 billion.

In a blog post announcing the purchase, Owen Jones wrote: "Everything is going to be OK. <3"

Ten years later, Mojang now has been part of Microsoft almost twice as long as it has been independent.

It's interesting to look back at the original announcement video from Xbox as well:

Am I the only one who questioned the legality of them deleting accounts if they didn't migrate?

No you are not, and I'm pissed I forgot to do that.

Just pirate it.

Or use the open-source Minetest instead?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I like minetest, but it is not a exact copy of the minecraft experience and many tutorials for more complicated machinery won't translate easily to it.

If i buy a game, which doesn't need a microsoft account, I would like it to stay that way.

You won’t be able to play multiplayer if you do

Not even on a private server?

You could disable authentication if you run the server
