       I got my first copy of Minecraft from Mojang back in 2010 (before the first alpha!) and got two more for my kids many years later.It was great and I was happy to support them.Then, they got acquired by Microsoft for 2.5 billions.They eventually started requiring players to migrate to a Microsoft account.Now I guess I am forfeiting my purchases because I'm not interested in any of that.I would expect the same thing is coming for Activision/Blizzard games and any other acquisition.

       Thanks to this, though, I've discovered Minetest which is a great free and open source alternative.It has texture packs, mods, multiplayer and it's probably already packaged for your Linux distribution.It runs out of the box on any Fedora machine I've run it from and the kids love it.Check it out if you're interested:- https://www.minetest.net/- https://github.com/minetest/minetest
