Do I get a refund for buying minecraft twice?

caldwelljt · Nov 5, 2021

I purchased both java and Microsoft bedrock (as well as Xbox, switch, etc) versions of Minecraft a long time ago. I didn't like that I had to buy it again but I did it a long time ago.

Now Microsoft is asking (forcing?) us to migrate our Mojang accounts to Microsoft accounts, however I already own Minecraft on my Microsoft account. I play both versions depending on who I am playing with. Is there any benefit to merging my Mojang account, or is there any perk or refund (aside from the cape which anyone the migrates, regardless of having purchased the windows version, can get?

If not, will I ever be forced to do it against my will?

For what it's worth I've also done the same thing on my kids' account. Which means I've probably "purchased' Minecraft some 10-20 times in all its iterations.

I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

You will continue to have access to both versions of the game with your Microsoft account.

Why do I need to migrate my account to a Microsoft account?

We can better protect you and your account by increasing account security and adding new safety features to Minecraft.

When you migrate to a Microsoft account, you will be able to activate two-factor authentication, which makes it much harder for intruders to access your account. We'll also roll out other player safety features over time.

What if I don't want to migrate my Mojang account to a Microsoft account? What happens if my migration period starts and I'm not ready to change yet?

You'll have time to migrate—you don't have to move right when you get the notification. However, when the voluntary migration period ends, you'll need to move your account or risk not being able to play the game.

Hi

Once you have requested a refund anything else you buy afterwards shouldn't effect it.

Uninstalling it wouldn't do any harm but the deluxe edition might be the same game with addons so you would have to re download it again.

Perhaps wait for the refund reply before buying the deluxe edition to make sure you get a refund before buying it twice.

It's weird because You can't buy a game twice, try to contact Xbox Support André get a refund.

If you have valid reasons ,you can get as many a year as you want. However, if you get refunded for title A and buy it again,,, you will not get a refund for the SAME title twice.
