I DIDN’T Migrate my Minecraft Account - Here’s What Happened
youtu.be
What happens if you don't migrate your Minecraft account? The goal of this video is to document exactly what happens if you don't. Maybe I could get it back?...

I’ve just watched the video. I find it pretty outrageous. The word about it should spread.

    Is a game even a service to begin with?

    Depends which game. An MMO? I’d argue for that to be the case. A single player game? Most likely not. I haven’t played minecraft, but from what I understand there’s a client and a server, and the server hosts the game with which the client itself would be utterly useless. Maybe that’s a misunderstanding on my part.

    I agree with the rest of what you said though.Moving things into the digital realm has required the law to keep up, however it’s written by rusty, old dudes paid to look the other way. And the majority of the population doesn’t understand until affected, so their voting behavior doesn’t change.

      Minecraft has both a single player mode and multiplayer which can be either hosted by the player themselves or by Microsoft. I wouldn’t deny that Minecraft Realms, Microsoft’s server subscription, is a service. But Minecraft, the game, has no reason to be considered a service.
