Don't censor this thread, watch this video and see what Microsoft is doing to this beautiful game.
I love Minecraft and I have been playing since 2012 on the demo version which was in the tutorial world and it took me ages to find out that you could even craft. Just walking around and being immersed and not knowing what you could do in this game was the joy of it all. The soundtrack helps with all of this and whenever I listen it helps with nostalgia back in the day when it was fun and not a game to make money from children.
I played on PC minecraft around 2014 and I would join servers and play with the community and it was nice. Now it is full of people wanting money and now they want to kill the pc minecraft community because servers make all the money from their own hard work to pay for the hosting and other things. Microsoft want to suck on this game like a leech of all of it's worth straight into money and now we have a marketplace which you have to pay for maps and other things.
STOP IT NOW AND REPLY TO THIS THREAD OR YOU WILL SEE THE DESTRUCTION OF MINECRAFT BY NEXT YEAR. BEAR THIS ALL IN MIND AND WATCH THE VIDEO.
I'm not sure if you are looking for attention, or someone whom is simply misinformed, or perhaps a complete and utter idiot.
First the market place is optional, no one, not even Microsoft, is twisting yours or anyone's arm to use it. Its there to use if you so wish. A similar system like this was implemented in steam awhile back, and it failed miserably because it got little to no use. It could be a good thing, hell the biggest complaint I had with 4J's console builds (besides the fact that they never ever play tested any of their builds), was that it lacked good texture packs, this gives me the chance to get some quality packs at a fair price. However I don't even need to really use the market place, as one can just as easilly get TONS of free worlds, texture packs and skins for the bedrock version, (google is your friend).
If your worried about the PC java build, then you need to not worry so much, as Microsoft has kept their word so far and not interfered with its development, yet its 'their' $$$ that funds its continuing development.
The bedrock version brings servers to us, some might cost, others will be free, and more so in the future will bring realms to us, which I might add has been a HIGHLY requested feature for many years. Not only that but allows us to meet and play with other people on different platforms. Yes their are things that will require getting used to, such as the new menu systems which i'm not a fan of, but 'we' will get used to them in time. Yes there are many bugs in it right now, but it is after all still a beta.
If your looking for views, and support I highly doubt your going to get much here, as most see this as a good thing, and you might too if you open your eyes.
Other platforms do NOT required a paid xbox live account, but more so a free 'xbox live account', as to why, it should be pretty obvious. Its a strong platform, that is very well suited for finding and playing with people that are matched to this game, think of it as the backbone, without it, we all might be running around with the same name, and would need to pass our IP's to people whom want to join our game, not to mention require additional software for voice chatting, messages, ect. Xbox live covers all this and much more.
I saw you posted this like 3 months ago are you just using this thread to gain views on that video so that people can feel threatened by your garbage video?
* All the other editions have had sub-names for years. We never complained.
* Two editions are going away, no longer sold or updated (360 and ps3).
* Win10, PE, Xbox One, and Switch are totally changing, and they're are going away (as in: gone, RIP), to be replace with an all new version that changes things (good and bad) for everyone and that we'll just have to get used to (new UI, etc.)
And you think you have problems?
You'll have to do what we'll do- deal with it.

From what i've seen in official sources those two editions aren't going anywhere until Sony and Microsoft stop allowing title updates for those platforms.
And that could be a while yet.
I've seen scare mongering click bait videos saying they are going away but nothing official
Q: What is going to happen to the old console edition?
A: The old console edition will not be available for new purchase after the full release of Minecraft on Xbox One and Switch. Existing owners will still be able to access and play the old console version and minigames, but those versions will not receive updates after the official release of Minecraft.

Well played, instead of censoring the thread you moved to a less known board.

From Mojang's Better Together FAQ: https://minecraft.net/en-us/article/better-together-faq
That's pretty much an "official source"... official enough for me anyway.
That was referring to the current xbox one and Nintendo Switch edition.
The xbox 360 and ps3 versions are not being discontinued until Sony and Microsoft stop allowing title updates for those consoles
We'll see who's right when BTU comes out.....
Yep. Although if the ps4 does ever get the BTU then they probably will kill the legacy console versions.
