I marvel at the proficiency with which Microsoft tears down every piece of software it touches nowadays.
Look what they just did to Notepad!!!
MONSTERS!!!!!
I'll get downvoted for this, but I think they take good care of github and Minecraft. As for the rest though... not so good.
They deliberately removed code search for not logged in users almost immediately. Just recently they removed cloning without an account, so now updating my computer requires signing in to github.
They have been awful stewards.
If with "good care" you mean "the core functionality is up and running most times", yes
My parents took good care of me, then.
Please take better care of yourself than your parents did! You deserve to feel taken care of <3
Better than Github did pre acquisition, and we actually got new features after years of stagnation. I don’t know what they changed but at least the product moved forward in some way.
... Didn't they revoke the Minecraft licenses people purchased because they didn't manage to migrate their Mojang accounts to Microsoft accounts in a short amount of time?
People were given three years to migrate, I wouldn't quite call that short
People have absolutely taken a multi-year break from Minecraft before.
Really though, why is there a time limit at all? Google still allows you to convert old Youtube accounts to Google accounts, why can't Microsoft do the same?
Lost access to my OG account because I didn't find out about this until a month after it was too late.
On top of that, even if you did manage to migrate your account, the M$ Minecraft accounts get deleted without warning after some time (2 years?) of inactivity. Guess how I found that out.
The MS or MC account?
Because my MC account is very dead, while my MS is semi active.
Edit: (Dead meaning not deactivated)
I haven’t played Minecraft for a while, but I was under the impression that Microsoft was progressively turning the Bedrock version into a microtransaction hellscape. If I’d have to reluctantly commend Microsoft for anything, I’d rather go for Visual Studio Code.
The bedrock version is bad, but they have recently given everyone that owned one version of the game the other version for free and now sell both versions of the game for the price of one
Oh, yeah bedrock sucks. Java edition is still great though. And yes, VSCode is good as well.
Bedrock indeed, but you didn't even have Bedrock edition before Microsoft, so you can't really say MS fucked it over since it was always kinda bad. Java has been pretty nice and the "big content updates" direction under Microsoft really rejuvenated the game.
It's nice that they brought Minecraft to practically every device. It sucks that they didn't replicate redstone
Thats because Microsoft has refused to change anything meaningful, there are new mobs but they dont drop anything of value and there are new biomes but the blocks are all decorative. Microsoft knows they'll screw it up so they only make surface level changes.
Oh yeah, Minecraft fans will tell you just how much they love their handling of it...
As a Minecraft player, as long as they leave java edition alone I'm fine with it.
