QuoteThey will remain as two distinct editions, but you will always have both.



My concern is that they plan to discontinue Java edition and then say "well, most Java players are running Windows therefore they can use Bedrock!"



Presently, Java supports Windows 7 and later, while Bedrock supports Windows 10 and later. I am worried that, when it comes time to retire Windows 7 and 8, Microsoft will think there is no longer a reason to have two distinct codebases.



This is not due to Microsoft's conflict of interests in (not) support for Linux. None of the major game studios including Paradox or Valve will release full-sized games onto Linux unless they have access to the majority of software that runs on Windows. If the developer decided not to support the Windows version of a proprietary Linux game, that would mean it would be taken off the Linux community.



Quote: mr. VictoryQuoteNot that it particularly matters to Linux players It does matter for me. Email used to have the bedrock edition only because java was way more expensive but now I can play minecraft on linux. The last time I checked, purchasing BE on one platform didn't give it to you on other platforms. Does that still happen? Does purchasing Minecraft on your desktop now give you Bedrock on Android and vice reverse?
