Is there a way to play minecraft without supporting microsoft? AFAIK the cracked clients can't play on servers that doesn't specifically allow it.
If the outlook account is only tied to the minecraft account and Microsoft doesn't know who made the outlook account, isn't that pretty safely private? Ofc microsoft can read the emails, but they won't contain any personal info of OP.
oh yeah, i guess purchasing Minecraft anonymously is a big issue.
AFAIK Minecraft is not like water, you can live without it.
I mean I tried giving up a Microsoft account for an Ely.by one. Finding servers was somewhat more inconvenient but was fine.
