Just me venting:
So I noticed I was getting spammed with crypto Shit on discord. Turns out my friends hotmail got hacked. He didnt have Access to the Account no more and turned to microsoft. Their response was just straight up bullshit because I am so sure that they can try harder but chose not to.
Yes its not unexpected but seeing it Live is a whole another level of disgusting Business practices. Especially the Part where They Tell him that he should buy minecraft again instead of offering a key or something like that. I know That They cant access one Drive really Unless they have a backdoor key but still straight up scummy to Tell him Theres nothing they can do regarding his Account and that his onedrive data is lost.
Edit: I noticed a Lot of people saying its Fake and honestly idk if it is cause he didnt send me the Screenshot with the Mail included and I didnt ask. This is just the sc he sent me and honestly knowing ms and him is all I need personally. I do get some of the doubts tho, yea and I already wondered whether he was writing to a scammer but I didnt question it. Believe what yall will but I dont think its that unbelievable that ms wont bother with „small stuff like that“
Let your friend know to get Freesm Launcher. Its a fork of Prism Launcher, which is designed to give you easy control over multiple accounts (local and Microsoft) and multiple instances, and Freesm in particular was made to remove the requirement for a M$ account.
I highly recommend purchasing directly from minecraft.net at least once, because despite the bastard publisher, Mojang do deserve the profit of the sale, whatever they get after M$ and payment processors take their share.
Or, if you like something closer to vanilla MC, maybe check out Luanti! I have a lot of fun. It’s really damn small and you can run it on fairly weak computers.
I doubt they take much, if anything, from the sale of Minecraft. they make billions off of the merch and media rights to it, at this point I imagine sales of the game end up being a smaller part of that. and mojang needs the profit to keep pumping out updates to the game for them to sell.
