Buy Minecraft, which apparently is on sale for $14.99. It’s not quite as fun when all your friends have the official version and get to play together while you’re stuck with an - *ahem* - unofficial version.
How long would it take you to save $15 if you tried?
$15 is like 80 BRL and I don’t have a single cent to my name right now so…
Well that sucks
For zero monies you & your friends could run VoxeLibre which has better performance characteristics. Microsoft doesn’t deserve your money or your user data, but I am sure VoxeLibre or Minetest wouldn’t mind a donation.
Minecraft is still a really good game that still gets fairly large updates.
It’s being milked for Bedrock & there are dozens of free software alternatives with VoxeLibre being a standout
Use java than 🤷
Or use bedrock and ignore all the bullshit if you can.
Are free versions even close to Minecraft in features, polish, and all that?
I personally think that Minecraft is one of the best games you can buy for the fairly low price, community, multiplayer, etc.
They are more than complete/polished with multiplatform support, with healthy modding communites, & better performance since they aren’t built on Java. In the past your money went to the developers—now it goes to megacorp Microsoft with little done in terms of maintenance.
Minecraft has gotten a lot of updates after Microsoft bought Mojang.
I don’t personally mind paying a small amount for a good product that is constantly getting better after many years.
Sure Java could have better performance but it’s rare that it matters much on modern computers.
You do you but I don’t think paying for things is the end of the world.
At that point play the free alternative and dont give your money to Microsoft. Do you love throwing your hard earned money at Microsoft?
I just doubt that the free alternatives are as good and Minecraft is really cheap anyways.
Have you tried the free alternatives? I guess to me its not the price alone its the principles of giving Microsoft money.
But why would I really care if the money is going to Microsoft and Mojang if I’m getting a very good product?
On the topic of games, Stick Fight The Game is $5 on steam and I got it while drinking with a few friends. It was the most fun I’ve had in years. I also hop on randomly when I get a chance and it’s just as fun with random people.
Stick flight is great!
I got it at launch.
