  1. migration makes you buy game again


    My question is, do I need to buy again after migration of my account? I bought minecraft over 10 years ago, believe it was about 26 dollars. I have enjoyed casual colossal building for a decade now both online with friends and on my own custom mc server. Migrated my account to the new microsoft standard this week and now it says I must buy minecraft again. The cost is minimal but the principle of making me upgrade so that you can get me to pay you again for something I already bought and enjoy...not cool. Help support did not help me. Is the only choice to re-pay or simply delete our ser

    Install Diablo 3 on Linux

    Just install PlayOnLinux? Why did they make step 2 and 3 of this "tutorial"?

    Anyway, looking at the supported software list for PlayOnLinux, D3 is a step in the right direction. Lack of gaming is a factor for a lot of people when deciding on an OS, if more recent games get ported it may help migrate them to their preferred choice.

    Cannot buy games or redeem codes in the store

    Hi Javier,

    In order to diagnose the issue, we suggest that you try the following methods:

    Method 1: Run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter.

    The Windows Store Apps troubleshooter fixes problems that may prevent the store from working properly. To run it, follow the steps below:

    • Click Start.
    • On the search bar, type Troubleshooting, and click on
      Troubleshooting
      from the results.
    • On the left pane, click View all.
    • Click Windows Store Apps.

    Method 2: Clear Windows Store app cache.

    We suggest that you manually reset Windows Store app cache then try to download the game again. To manually reset, follow the steps below:

    • Click Start.
    • On the search bar, type CMD, and right-click CMD
      from the results.
    • Click Run as administrator.
    • Type wsreset, and press Enter.

    Make sure that you are logged in to your computer using your Microsoft account.
