Minecraft to add telemetry

it's actually C++. And it's the same codebase for all the consoles/mobile devices

> This version is programmed in C++ and is available for a multitude of platforms including iOS, Android, VR, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Since the Bedrock engine is a full rebuild different from the Java Edition, there is a noticeable difference between Bedrock and Java edition.

I’m sure there are real performance improvements by moving to C++, but at the same time, I cannot believe how long this list of differences is.

It also doesn’t help that the two versions are separate purchases.

Didn't bedrock edition come for free with windows 10? I have it but I am sure I never paid for it.

For a long period of time, you got a free Windows key for it if you owned a Java license. I do not believe they are continuing this promotion
