I have 10 different modded game versions going back to Alpha 16.
I am not going to mess about to get them all to work via Appdata.
I will simply delete them and likely stop playing the game.
After 4.5k hours, the game is not going in a general direction I like.
Recent Alphas have been 20-30 hrs or so Funpimps game and then wait for the modders to make the game more enjoyable.
Why all accommodation to MS? Are we going to reach the stage where we need a Microsoft account to play?
I have already deleted Minecraft because of this.
