    Time to sue for breach of contract. My original agreement with Mojang which Microsoft bought is forever.

      And if you bought in alpha, it is for “every future version” of Minecraft. I made it into that group by like a week.

      If Microsoft wants to keep profiting off of Minecraft’s name, then they are making “future versions” and they need to honour that. They don’t want to do that? Okay, call it “shitty block building game rip-off #15,084,831”. But they won’t, because that name is valuable for good reason.

      It would cost them literally nothing and gain massive goodwill to give that out to like the tiny minority of early players, many of whom won’t even use it, but something about being a corporation makes it impossible for them to do literally anything good. It’s frankly baffling.
