Minecraft The Wild Update Is Out Now Java Bedrock Now One Purchase

QuoteThey will remain separate editions but you always have both.

My concern is that they plan to discontinue Java edition and then say "well, most Java players are on Windows so they can just use Bedrock!"

Java supports Windows 7 and older, while Bedrock is compatible with Windows 10 and later. I worry that Microsoft will consider two code bases unnecessary when Windows 7/8 is dropped.

I should also note that this concern doesn't stem from Microsoft's conflict of interests in not supporting Linux. None of the major game studios, including Paradox or Valve, will bring full-sized games onto Linux unless they have access to the majority of the code for Windows. minecraft If the developer decided not to support the Windows version of a proprietary Linux game, that would mean it would be removed from the Linux community. minecraft

Quoting mr. VictoryQuoteIt does not matter to Linux gamers, but it does matter to me. I had the bedrock edition only because java was way more expensive but now I can play minecraft on linux. Last time I checked buying BE on one platform didn't give it to you on any other platform. Has this changed? Does buying Minecraft on desktop now give you Bedrock on Android, or vice versa?
