      I left after the Java chat/sign/whatever filtering controversy. Never got into bedrock edition, so I never had to worry about it. Don’t know if they backed down on it, though.

      And the microtransactions are also absolutely abhorrent as well. Never felt with them, but I don’t know a single sane person who actually like them.

        Mojang is owned by Microsoft. Both versions of the game are developed by Mojang which is beholden to what Microsoft’s goals for the game are.

          I don’t like Microsoft but don’t think I can run away from Minecraft. Got a server with my friends and I really like the game. What would even touch it as a competitor or alternative?

            Closest is Terraria. 2D, yes, but very expansive and tons of content

              Yeah, I’ve easily got 10x the time in Terraria vs MC.

              I wish the maps were bigger though.

            Minetest. The game is way more open and customisable, and you can add in whatever rulesets you like.
