Greetings one and all. A few days ago an announcement was made (Java Edition is Moving House) that basically boils down to this: All Minecraft Java Edition players are being forced to migrate their legacy/Mojang accounts to Microsoft... The FAQ associated with the move says that players will have to set up a MSA (Microsoft Account). Since "security" is being touted as the main reason for this forced migration, it would seem likely that two-factor authentication will be forced as well. A WindowsCentral article about 2FA states: So, in essence, it is looking like — in order to continue playing Minecraft — Java Edition players will not only have to hand over a bunch of personal information, but create and give Microsoft another email address and/or telephone number and/or install Microsoft malware on their phones. Many players are unlikely to want to do so. The pathetic compensatory offer of a cape is unlikely to change their minds. Does this present an opportunity for Vintage Story to expand it's player base? Other thoughts on the move? Cheers, voxhaul
