To be honest I haven't played it in ages, but there was a time when I enjoyed it with some friends on our self hosted server.

It is still successful and it is probably a completely transformed game by now, but ultimately I think they want to lure people into their environment. I also wouldn't want my kids playing it because of the monetization.

The version you like is still available... you can play the game and run a server in any version you want. Java has no monetization.

But is still being pulled into Microsoft accounts.

Enough is enough, I'm done with this.

The only game that I'm willing to play with a Microsoft account is the MCC - and that's because I bought it knowing I would need an account, then made a throwaway email and MS account to play it with.
