This would be huge and a big step to single purchase ownership.
One of my biggest griped with the modern state of gaming is how purchases are platform based.
Minecraft pe doesn’t transfer between ios and android yet on pc all my games work on linux the same as windows.
Once we have the power to load the OS where we have acces to our library publishers will rush to make sure their platform gets that access.
Valve really appears as the woke gaming authority that single handed progresses the industry. Someone link a source if that perception is wrong.
I bought Minecraft on pc, downloaded an apk, logged in with my Microsoft account, and I can play on online servers. Seems like it can be shared, but Microsoft doesn't want you to.
Mknecraft pocket edition doesnt even need the microsoft account you connect it to to have minecraft installed
The only protection minecraft bedrock has against privacy is if it cant detect if the game was bought from the play store(at least on android, i dont know about java)
You can also find a pirated version of minecraft on the play store (the exact same game, works even in multiplayer, the only difference is that it comes with a texture pack that you can remove)
