Microsoft makes little children cry. In the endless stream of fuckups with their account management they managed to delete all of the Minecraft worlds my son had built. This was two years ago. He was 8 at the time. His passion for Minecraft has significantly waned after that.

Microsoft is the same shitty, incompetent, abusive, predatory company that I remember from the nineties and will likely never change.

Was this realms? I thought Minecraft worlds were stored locally.

Yes, but it got wrapped around an axle where he could neither log in nor in any way move his worlds to a different device. Their advice was to uninstall Minecraft and in the process lose all local data. No migration path was offered. And it all started when they started demanding that he logs in with a Microsoft account.
