Why delete Minecraft legacy console edition to force people to play bedrock??

I like playing older versions of Minecraft, but more specifically Minecraft: Legacy edition. I want to purchase a copy of Minecraft: Xbox One edition for my Xbox Series X console. Will I be able to play the legacy version, or be forced to play Bedrock?

Thanks.

Cab make. The Simpsons games. Work. On the Xbox one x

Legacy was coded in java

None going to update that

The it it was made using Java, couldn’t all the copies of be made so “better update” and so the game is better made for consoles and for low power devices? Aka consoles like the Nintendo switch, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Xbox one and series s and x?

I wonder if they'd have the time to remake the Legacy Edition for newer consoles, and give Legacy all of the new updates... Then again, I like the old style of it and it would kind of make me sad if they did an update... Idk if this is a global issue for Legacy owners, but the paintings from the Festive Mash-Up Pack are corrupted on my 360. They have a bunch of orange spots on them. Makes the game feel like a piece of forgotten history...

It costs a great deal,of time and money to keep the games updated. The old code base is not capable of supporting the new features. The old versions are removed to protect people from buying the wring one, but are still accessible to existing owners
