TIL Minecraft requires a freaking MS account. I thought it wasn't that bad so we proceeded to create one, but it turns out that if you want to create a child account (based on birth date, to avoid adult ads and shit) you as an adult *also* need a MS account that would be of course immediately connected to your childs account which I assume to be a gold mine for advertisers.
Seriously, fuck #AdTech!
(I also wonder if this is legal in the EU?)
