It makes no sense to me that there are two versions of the game. I’ll be watching a youtube tutorial video, and suddenly they’ll say “this doesn’t work on bedrock”.
Ugh! Then you find out it’s not just a simple ARM vs x86 issue. They function SLIGHTLY differently too. And they can’t coexist with crossplay. Bedrock is the nuetered version.
Just combine the games. I get console can’t host a server, but at least let them join servers!
I mean i get the move from Java to C. You can make more performant games with C. So thats likely the engineering answer. A chance to remake the code base from scratch, less tech debt, and more performant language.
The problem is its owned by microslop, and they spent more time making it part of their version of the walled garden and adding Epstien’s microtransactions to it versuses getting it up to feature parity.
