Yup, I delayed moving my Mojang account to a Microsoft account. Honestly, it would've been enough for me to bail on Minecraft entirely (I've had my fill anyway, I've had it pretty much since launch ~15 years ago), but my kids really wanted to play so I moved it for them.
But Minecraft also isn't on Steam, you only get it from Microsoft or on a console. So it feels less bad than requiring a console login on a PC game. When I buy through Steam, I expect my Steam login to be sufficient. Companies like EA and Ubisoft pull this crap, which is a huge part of why I avoid their games.
If I buy a single player game on a platform, I should always be able to play that game on that platform. I understand needing a login for MP games, but they clearly showed that wasn't necessary for Helldivers 2, and they didn't demonstrate why it was all of a sudden necessary.
