Hi! I am a teenage gamer girl. I have supported Minecraft since the alpha versions, when my father was a tester. I've played for many years, even before I got an official account. (Before I got the account, when I joined a game my name was just Player. Just a fun fact :3) I have supported Microsoft's newer updates to the game, like parrots, new blocks, etc. Then I found a thread on these forums. It was about new added textures for bricks, wood, and more. I was astonished at how... off they were. They were well designed, I will say that, but they were blurry, and too realistic for the original design of Minecraft. They ruined the cartoonish aspect of the game, but that wasn't all that bothered me. I quickly noticed another thread about how they would soon be changing the game so only Windows version users would be able to play with people from the Xbox, PE, and others. I myself use the Java version, so I would not be able to play with friends. I had been supportive of all the other updates that had been added, but changing the parts of Minecraft we all know and love is taking Microsoft's new power too far. They are ruining the game. Please, I beg you Microsoft, stop changing the game as we know and knew it. It has been the same cartoon-like game we have known for who knows how long, and if you change it now you will lose a lot of players. So, I beg of you, don't add new textures and don't change the multiplayer feature. Many players will be disadvantaged by this. So stop.
