What Microsoft has done with Minecraft is so gross. I installed it recently after not playing for maybe a decade so I could try the RTX support, and I just had to shake my head at how packed the home screen is with micro-transactions now.

This started as a very simple, creative game for kids, and now the only way to play is to enter through the gift-shop. Minecraft was already one of the best selling games of all time. Is it really necessary to constantly expose 8 year old kids to aggressive marketing to maximize profits?
