Done. +- -- You cannot argue about playerbase - people are left behind, unable to go to Bedrock. +- -- Even if you claim it's their fault for using Windows 10, how much have you somehow missed +- -- about Windows 10's various nastiness? There's a laptop basically unusable for anything real-time here +- -- on Windows 10 because of an update that screwed it over, and no, a reset did not fix it.
