Comment on Enshittification only hurts product itself, not users.

  Bedrock is pretty full of microtransactions, upsells, and ads, and the Mojang to Microsoft account migration for Java made a lot of people lose their accounts entirely.

  But the core gameplay of both editions is still fine, and Java is consistently getting more mod-friendly with each release. You also don’t actually have to buy anything in Bedrock; it’s mostly just annoying.

  I don’t really agree that Minecraft is getting enshittified, but I can see why others might.

    And the whole chat censoring thing, and Microsoft doubling down on banning players on all servers for chat content in their own private servers.

      I would also prefer to play on Java, however cross-platform support with Bedrock works really well. And that is actually quite the benefit. That way I can actually for once play a game with friends that are on other consoles or even on mobile.

    You can avoid the transactions, but they really lure the kids in. I have to constantly tell my kid I’m not paying for that crap it’s exhausting

    Hey, it’s me. I contacted support and got a list of info they needed to fix it. I responded with that info and got a reply from a different person with a list of info they needed to fix it. I responded with that info and got a reply from a different person with a list of info they needed to fix it.

    Then I said said “fuck this shit” and gave up to never play again.

  Windows was enshittified decades before it was even a concept. Grandaddy of enshittification.

  when bedrock edition was introduced, I’d say

  the marketplace, character creator and partnered servers all have very predatory monetization

  thankfully java resisted enshittification for the most part

  Can’t speak for OP, but I took a maybe ten-year hiatus from Minecraft and came back to find the were so baby more block types that it clogged my inventory and I felt overwhelmed and just stopped playing again.
