    Why do i need to pay money to play games i own?


    So i reinstalled minecraft (the launcher) but microsft will not allow me to play it unless i subscribe but i already own the game so why the hell do i need to pay in order to play a game i have owned for years? it makes 0 sense i refuse to subscribe to play a game on my own why exactly is this a thing? and when did this get implemented? and who the **** thought it was a good idea to implement this?

    :)

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

    If you own the game subscribing to any subscription on PC is not required. This may mean that the system is not detecting your license.

    Can you please let me know the exact prompt that you're getting? If you can send a photo that would be great as well, just make sure to hide any personal information that may be visible.

    If this is a code that you redeemed it should be visible on the order history still but to confirm, was this redeemed through Mojang's end?

    It can be a free trial, Joseph, and we need to locate the order transaction for the game, Joseph. Please check all Microsoft accounts that you own.

    its not a free trial? microsoft gave out free windows keys for minecraft years ago and thats how i got a free version of the windows version of minecraft which would mean there is no purchase option specially since it happened before you guys stupified the microsoft store beyond belief if its a free trial then wow a few years worth of a free trial thats a first
