The previous version allowed at least to play indefinitely offline after one login. This latest one requires online access every time I start the game, which is not kosher.
Also, first version of Minecraft I bought was the beta java version for Linux, though I believe I could have downloaded some other OS versions with the license as well. Anyway, the Linux license seems to have been one-sidedly changed by Microsoft/Mojang to require online user accounts every time the game starts and it is not being honored what was sold to old customers.
You used to need user the username+pwd combo only to download the game, and not for playing, unless playing online. I am filing a consumer complaint to appropriate government officials about this breach of contract. You can't retroactively change licenses like this.
Yes, I am sure. It was one of the earliest versions, I believe I paid $10 or 10€ for it, before any of these online account systems that have been forced now, and I would not have bought it, if it hat required online access while playing, like this new version now does. I bought it specifically for offline use.
This new Microsoft license or version has made this game useless. I want the functionality that I originally had bought and the right to play it offline without internet.
How to reproduce:
$ minecraft-launcher
You are asked to log in.
Login fails if you're not online.
You can not play the game offline.
