  • There is a reason they deactivated the accounts, but it doesn’t justify removing the ability to migrate at any time. For those interested:

    The old mojang accounts were not secure, and there were millions of accounts that could be accessed without email ownership. This created a grey market for cheap Minecraft accounts. These cheap accounts were almost exclusively used to cheat on non-cracked servers, which sucked for a lot of players who did competitive Minecraft games on servers. The migration did fix this problem, by requiring access to the original email or answers to the security questions. Migrating your mojang account also gave access to the windows 10 version of the game. It probably should have been allowed forever, and I have no clue why they didn’t.




  • Usually there is some reason behind the decision. This may be used by less tech literate people so having the familiarity of windows would be useful, or maybe the machines that are mass purchased are from a company with windows pre installed and it isn’t worth swapping. Maybe someone in the company is helping a friend offload licenses at cost to the company. Sure Linux would work perfectly fine, but it’s not like it’s going to improve the profit of a company or stability to such a high degree that it’s worth it.


  • I know you’re probably joking, but for anyone interested: Inflation is an increase of pricing for goods and services, and usually increases 1-3% per year.

    Price gouging is the grocery store going “inflation has been terrible, so 30% increases store wide is necessary” when the real inflation over the past 3 years is actually 6-7% total. Now this isn’t necessarily just on the grocery store, the suppliers could have pulled the inflation card or the supplier’s suppliers, etc.

    You can check which company is price gouging by seeing if they are having record breaking profits for the year. Sometimes companies actually do what it takes to make profit, but something like a grocery store should just be consistent and only increase with population or cost saving measures.
