I’ve just watched the video. I find it pretty outrageous. The word about it should spread.

There is a reason they deactivated the accounts, but it doesn’t justify removing the ability to migrate at any time. For those interested:
The old mojang accounts were not secure, and there were millions of accounts that could be accessed without email ownership. This created a grey market for cheap Minecraft accounts. These cheap accounts were almost exclusively used to cheat on non-cracked servers, which sucked for a lot of players who did competitive Minecraft games on servers. The migration did fix this problem, by requiring access to the original email or answers to the security questions. Migrating your mojang account also gave access to the windows 10 version of the game. It probably should have been allowed forever, and I have no clue why they didn’t.
Minecraft was the reason I started using password gens and managers, as my shit appeared in some list of usernames and passwords for the game that is still easily googled.
So this is why there were some legit Minecraft accounts sold at like 30 BRL while in the official site it’s 120 BRL.

Bedwars gets pretty competitive for example.
Never underestimate a dedicated community to make anything competitive
There’s speedrunning for Minecraft. It gets pretty crazy, and there’s already been cheating scandals. Including ones where key people who uncovered previous cheaters were also involved in cheating.
