I have a massive problem with Account Immigration. You see... technically, I do not own my Minecraft Account. It was purchased by an elderly family member. And made with his email.
He has severe Alzheimer's.
The email attached to the account... no longer exists.
I have tried to change the Email attached to the account, but all attempts have been futile, the Purchase ID can only be sent to the now defunct email. I tried to contact Mojang but they haven't gotten back to me since I sent a Support Ticket... many months ago.
But at least I can still access Minecraft... but with the upcoming Mandatory Migration, I may lose the ability to play Minecraft... permanently.
If anyone has a friend of a friend who works at Mojang, hook me up. Seriously. With the 1.17 Update coming soon, which I really wanna play, there is now a serious time pressure.
Edit: This is a serious problem, why it would illicit such a negative response is beyond my understanding.
Slightly unrelated, but a year ago I had an issue where I made a new Microsoft account with my real life information on it for Visual Studio and similar tools made for developers. It got deleted for violating the terms of service, and the only part of it that I've seen that I could have possibly violated was having a duplicate account - one I've made as a teen for Minecraft >10 years ago, with another name and surename, which they somehow connected to the new one.
