Interesting to see how this pans out.
Minecraft really isn't a game where microtransactions work, at least on the ethical stuff. It's a game about creativity and sharing, which means a lot of people won't be bothered with mtx.
The elephant in the room is that there's a giant ecosystem of paid server nonsense, most of which is basically pay-to-win and gambling for school kids, which Microsoft and Mojang somehow approve. They just think it's unfair they don't get a cut, hence the push for Bedrock marketplace and servers. Thing is, if Microsoft really starts seriously sticking their fingers into that pie, I really hope the regulators start waking up.
My man, have you seen the bedrock edition?
If Roblox gets to why can't we?

Minecraft is already so far down that road. They sell skins.
Shout out to vintage story for replacing Minecraft for me
I hard passed on vintage story. I was looking into the game, took one look at the community and the toxicity on their support forums and went "yep thats a hard pass".
IMO the company should really do some cleansing on their starting topics. It doesn't look good for a game when there's active toxicity in the community forums arguing over if the game needs to be changed and telling people to get gud and that they didn't have such things when starting out when they make super basic suggestions like starter equipment, or an actual tutorial.
They may have fixed that since then since its been a year or two, but that was a hard turnoff for me. A lesser known game needs community support to function and survive. Even minecraft mods have a vast amount of wikis and community support. An actively hostile community on the official community forums is not a good starting POV.

I never played any one of those games. I am mostly playing hitman now. While obviously they keep releasing new stuff for it. They are not microtransactions. I just hate how everything has been so enshittified.
it's well known that when you work at a company, you absorb all of their morals and goals
