QuoteThey will be available in two different versions You can also have both.
My Sorge is that they're contemplating a decision to stop the Java edition and then saying "well the majority of Java players are on Windows So they can play Bedrock!"
Java supports Windows 7 and higher, while Bedrock is compatible with Windows 10 or later. I am worried that, when it's time to end support for Windows 7 and 8, Microsoft will decide that there is no longer a reason to have two distinct codebases.
This concern is not due to Microsoft's conflict of interests in (not) supporting Linux. None of the big game studios and not even Valve or Paradox, are willing to bring full-sized games to Linux in the event that they make use of the majority of the same code that they use for Windows. If Welcome To My Blog decides not to support the Windows version of an exclusive Linux game this would mean that it would be removed from the Linux community.
Quote: mr. VictoryQuoteNot that is particularly relevant to Linux players. However, it is a factor for me. I had the bedrock edition only because Java was more expensive. Now I can play minecraft on linux. The last time I checked, purchasing BE on one platform did not offer it on another platform. Is that the case? Is it true that buying Minecraft on your desktop now give you Bedrock on Android or vice the reverse?
