In theory, migration of accounts from Minecraft from Mojang to Xbox Live shouldn’t be a problem. However, someone at the company responsible for the game, or at Microsoft, did not do their research and now the popular game has become exclusive for adults in one of its most important markets, South Korea. In the face of the scandal that this generated, which even reached the South Korean authorities, Microsoft has not been slow to respond.
