Decade-long MC Veteran here! Claimed my free w10 Minecraft upgrade in 2018 while overseas working in Germany played a bit, honestly at the time i hated it compared to Java, upgraded from my latop to an RTX capable desktop about ~10 days ago for the RTX beta and ITS GONE, can only get JAVA edition from the old launcher but the MS store is essentially empty...
I know I'm not crazy because i used to commonly launch MCw10 edition by mistake instead of java(since lets face it hardcore players mostly only use java and thats a YouTube fact) I even have some worlds i made and backed up that are incompatible with my java edition, so i know again that im not crazy i did have my free w10 upgrade till it mysteriously vanished just after RTX beta goes live.... hmmmm very very strange...
Simply put MS just removed my free upgrade... WHY? is it a sales tactic?
Knowing with that RTX is left out of JAVA intentionally is the universal sign that support of java is about to end any moment now... They wouldnt leave major features out of a title thats gonna be around for more than a year) While that makes me sad to think about it, I DID use that freebie-thankyou-for-playing-since-alpha/beta copy of the w10 edition that i claimed long before the 4/20/2020 deadline aaaaaaaaand NOPE the MS store wants to resell me stuff i already own. Have tried every solution from 15-25 similar posts like mine with NO AVAIL!
I was afraid of putting anything on launchers/stores because I strictly use STEAM which as NEVER failed me but the one time i use the microsoft store my title just POOOFS its gone...
is it because i only played it for a few hours when i first downloaded it? was it just a trial and not really an upgrade? or did microsoft decide they gave out too many free copies and went back to nix the freebies out of our MS store to try to make a few additional sales? Cant say I have ANY faith or trust in using the microsoft store after this... while I'm thankful it was a free-game that mojang gave me for playing since alpha, it was still MY game that they essentially stole from me, the fact that you cannot trust the MS store to actually save the titles you have leaves me with no choice but to avoid the MS store at all costs! Steam is somehow the only reliable platform after all these decades?
P.S. Only have one MS account(an email thats 27 years old... so i know im not just on the wrong one either...) I came across legions of others on reddit/discord/twitch/ who claimed their free w10 edition MC and its nowhere to be found now that theres actually a reason to even load up w10 edition thanks to RTX... Feels a little bit suspicious to me, like im being shafted to buy something i already own... I can only hope this can be made right?
