    How is it legal for Microsoft to do this? I purchased a product from a separate entity, had no information about the migration / migration support and now after a few years of not playing, I have to re-purchase a product that I purchased in its Alpha phase for $5, but now costs $39.99 for the same product?

    I can't imagine there actually being legal precedent for a company shutting down services for something like this after a buyout that, as a consumer who doesn't care about the news, I had no clue even occurred.

    Couldn't this leave Microsoft open to a Class Action suit if enough people didn't complete the migration in time?

    Are there any ways for me to get access back to my old account WITHOUT paying? It would suck, but I'm fine with losing my old worlds, but I am not fine with being extorted into purchasing the same thing I already purchased.

    :)

    What is the legal precedent behind shutting down Minecraft migration on Dec 18, 2023? I had no idea, and now I can't access my old account and have to pay 8x what I originally did to get the same game

    I feel like there would need to be notifications sent out to the people affected, as there are with any EOL software package. I was given no notice or email.
    Maybe you simply missed them but they DID send out multiple emails about this spread out over nearly a 2 year period.

    The earliest one i personally found in my email was from February of 2022 but i got many more of them between that date and the end of migrations. Probably got a total of at least a half dozen emails (if not more) warning me.

    You do know that support never last forever right

    Their is no law.saying a game or service has to startup forever

    And if you didn't pay attention to.a game what precedent are you asking that they must keep.a service up forever because you didn't pay attemtion

    If you didn't decide to.check ypur mail thata on you

    This has been knosn for years

    EOL IS. EOL

    not to mention you had.the game is over 14 years old of possible use

    You just.had to migrate.

    Most.games.don't have that much support

    Not to mention only the original servers shut down now you are connected to a lbetter supported network like xbox
