    Microsoft isn’t being stupid, given that they barely have to put effort into the game and billions will buy and play it.

      Microsoft is stupid to me in the same sense the way the US handles capitalism is. They could’ve stopped updating at 1.8 and people would still be playing it as much.

        Yeah, but it’d become a niche instead of the game that every kid plays. And, of course, updating lets them sell more stuff on their marketplace.

        Is bedrock even minecraft anymore? It seems a lot more like an EA remake.

          I’m pretty sure they’ve gone as far as giving Minecraft explicit lore, kind of defeating the whole point.

          Most of Bedrock is really locked down depending on what platform you use, on mobile custom modding becomes harder and harder. It’s really only the store that’s really viable to use.
