10 Years of Playing Minecraft, Now Unplayable

I have been playing Minecraft for about a decade, starting back on PS3 Edition a couple of years after its launch. I never had a PC, so Java Edition was never an option for me; Bedrock has always been my only way to play. But the day Mojang discontinued legacy console editions was the day the game started going downhill. Since then, Ive had to deal with: – Aggressive marketing, subscriptions, and sloppy updates. – Multiple game breaking bugs that have destroyed my long term worlds. – Forced updates that corrupted worlds with dead chunks. And most recently, a Realms subscription I paid for that converted my four month hardcore world into survival, wiping out hundreds of hours of progress and altering my local save permanently. Not only affecting me, but also a friend who has played alongside me in that world the entire time. This is not a finished, stable game anymore. Its unreliable, buggy, and feels like it punishes the players who have stuck with it the longest. I have poured thousands of hours into Minecraft over the years, but I am done. I will not keep playing, and I definitely wont keep paying for a subscription, until Mojang proves they can deliver a game that respects players time and effort, instead of making it feel like a sloppy mobile game. I loved Minecraft when it respected players and their worlds. Right now, it doesn't.
