And yes you have to spend it all

Edit: There are a lot of little good things in these answers that I often ignore. Thanks everyone.

    Buy Minecraft, which apparently is on sale for $14.99. It’s not quite as fun when all your friends have the official version and get to play together while you’re stuck with an - *ahem* - unofficial version.

      For zero monies you & your friends could run VoxeLibre which has better performance characteristics. Microsoft doesn’t deserve your money or your user data, but I am sure VoxeLibre or Minetest wouldn’t mind a donation.

          It’s being milked for Bedrock & there are dozens of free software alternatives with VoxeLibre being a standout

              At that point play the free alternative and dont give your money to Microsoft. Do you love throwing your hard earned money at Microsoft?

                  Have you tried the free alternatives? I guess to me its not the price alone its the principles of giving Microsoft money.

              They are more than complete/polished with multiplatform support, with healthy modding communites, & better performance since they aren’t built on Java. In the past your money went to the developers—now it goes to megacorp Microsoft with little done in terms of maintenance.

      On the topic of games, Stick Fight The Game is $5 on steam and I got it while drinking with a few friends. It was the most fun I’ve had in years. I also hop on randomly when I get a chance and it’s just as fun with random people.
