I'm absolutely angry at Microsoft that decided that they could just take away my MC license.

Bought the game in 2020, played a few sessions then forgot about it. When I tried to play again a few months ago, I learned that they migrated accounts to microsoft.

Since I didn't migrate in time, I just lost my license and need to buy the game again. [1]

>As the migration period has ended, Minecraft Support will no longer assist with migration-related queries. > >To continue playing Minecraft, you can purchase both Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft: Bedrock edition as one product on the Xbox Store or explore Different Minecraft Editions for other platforms.

Same boat here, my MC license was a birthday gift as a teen, as such the connected email address wasn't mine. Hadn't played in ages and when friends asked to join their server, apparently I had missed their deadline to migrate by a month. Absolute insanity
