welp, that's 15 years of Minecraft lost in a sodding heartbeat all because Microsoft's account security and higher-level 'user support' is little more than a fucking joke...
their otherworldly corporate policies apparently literally make it easier for some malicious asshat to quickly hack/steal your MS/Xbox account without their actions ever being challenged by MS than it is for a provably legit account holder to try and recover their hacked/stolen account... especially because while MS might accept part of your report and eventually 'ban' the stolen account, they'll claim they can't give YOU your account back, or transfer any games/items you may have had on it to your new MS account, because the original accounts security details were changed (obviously because it was hacked...) and that means their policies don't allow them to do anything but 'ban' the affected account; problem is it seems they then very quickly ALSO lock out the new account you made to try and recover the original account, despite you having given them all the proof you can that you're the actual legit original owner of the hacked/stolen account and you're just trying to get your shit back...
just another example of why the game was infinitely so much better when Mojang dealt with the game entirely in-house, including user account security - usually one or two emails to them with the transaction ID and some other basic details and you generally got your question answered, or you got your account back, in a day or two - conversely Microsoft clearly simply don't give a shit - they'll literally tell you to buy a new copy of the game at the same time they lock out your newly made MS account leaving you with no account and thus no means with which to buy a new copy of the game...
Fuck Microsoft, and fuck the people that threatened Notch and left him feeling like he had no choice but to sell Mojang to Microsoft.
