    … Didn’t they revoke the Minecraft licenses people purchased because they didn’t manage to migrate their Mojang accounts to Microsoft accounts in a short amount of time?

      People were given three years to migrate, I wouldn’t quite call that short

        People have absolutely taken a multi-year break from Minecraft before.

        Really though, why is there a time limit at all? Google still allows you to convert old Youtube accounts to Google accounts, why can’t Microsoft do the same?

      Lost access to my OG account because I didn’t find out about this until a month after it was too late.

      On top of that, even if you did manage to migrate your account, the M$ Minecraft accounts get deleted without warning after some time (2 years?) of inactivity. Guess how I found that out.

        The MS or MC account?
        Because my MC account is very dead, while my MS is semi active.

        Edit: (Dead meaning not deactivated)
