Younger brother asking how to get earn minecoins. You cant. Have to buy them. That dissapointment in his voice. The heart break i feel as the older brother.
Cant imagine on christmas, parenta go all in on the new system and popular game, then to realise that thier child cant have the max amount of fun* without paying extra.
[looks it up]
What the fuck
Minecoins are used to buy… skins?
For Minecraft?
A game where you can make a new skin with MS Paint?
Where there’s already over a decade of community skins made for it?
*on the Java version
Microsoft created the bastar–bedrock edition to rip kids off by selling them stuff they could easily have for free.
On console you can’t do that. Also worlds and addons. (most of them suck and are just cash grabs.)
Wait Minecoin is Minecraft bedrock currency for buying skins etc, My first thought when I read it was it’s some kind of crypto shit. But yeah still sucks, especially for Minecraft a game that in Java version was literally open to community created skins, mods worlds etc for free.
Java version seems superior to bedrock in just about every way. But MS bought it to monetize it and here we are. I run a local server to play with my kids sometimes and it works great.
I’m reminded of a post from elsewhere: “You hate all the parts of capitalism separately, without realizing they’re all the same thing”
Duh? Ignorance moves 99% of micro transactions business. It’s either whales, or children, almost every time.
