Thanks. It's also a teaching moment for my kid, don't lay down and take it.
It's only 10 bucks but that's exactly why they make it all so difficult. Giving you the run around so you give up and spend more.
Plus it's the 3rd strike now for Minecraft:
First all the trouble we had migrating our Mojang accounts to MS accounts. Hence the separate account as his kid account had too many restrictions and not enough security (simple pwd just to use his PC) Despite family settings we couldn't even install a different browser on his PC, even though I gave permission over and over.
Fix (after various chat supports and MS remote operating his PC trying to fix it) delete his restrictive account, made a new account he uses now for his PC. Good thing Minecraft was separate. His old account is still accessible despite MS claiming they deleted it years ago, probably because that outlook email is still tied to various other platforms like Switch, Google, etc.
Then he lost his main save game a year later when the launcher let him try out a new update, beta version, which used the same directory for save games as the main game and overwrote his main world containing all his builds. Saves are not in the cloud, just in some obscure directory on your PC... He doesn't use the default name now anymore for saves, a "do you want to overwrite" warning would have been nice.
So this is kinda minor compared to the last 2 issues, but I'm getting fed up with Minecraft. I've never had this issue juggling 4 PSN accounts, 2 Steam accounts, 3 Nintendo accounts, 4 Roblox accounts. Never a problem getting the content on the right account. Yet the Minecraft launcher screws it up.
Also when I had an issue with a PSN purchase Sony fixed it without sending me to other places. Minecraft is a first party game...
