I enjoy a good builder game and ‘Minecraft’ seems to be among the best of them. But I reached a point of being fed up with having to sign-up for various things and creating accounts, just to be able to play a silly game, years ago. And ‘Minecraft’ is still, for some reason, locked behind Microsoft Account Creation.
It’s the same with Obsidians ‘Grounded’ and X-Com 2.
And I simply refuse it.
Even more so if it requires a separate storefront launcher than the one I’m using to pop-up and launch the game. (Looking at you, ‘Origins’…) That’s an instant refund.
