QuoteThey will remain as two separate editions but now you always get both. My concern is that they plan to discontinue Java edition, and then say "well the majority of Java players are using Windows therefore they can use Bedrock!" At present, Java supports Windows 7 and later, while Bedrock is compatible with Windows 10 and later. I am concerned that when it comes time to drop Windows 7 and 8, Microsoft will decide that there is no longer a reason to keep two separate codebases. This concern is not due to Microsoft's conflict-of-interest in (not) supporting 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 the software for Windows. If the developer decides not to support the Windows version of a proprietary Linux game, that would mean it would be removed from the Linux community. Quoting: mr-victoryQuoteNot that it particularly matters to Linux players. However, it is a factor for me. I had the bedrock edition mainly because Java was more expensive. Now I can play minecraft on linux. Last time I checked, purchasing BE on one platform didn't give it to me on another platform. Is that the case? minecraft mods that everyone should have minecraft mods that everyone should have Is it true that buying Minecraft on desktop now give you Bedrock on Android and vice reverse?
