I'm just taken aback on why there hasn't been any clarity on why after owning this game for years, the new launcher won't allow me to install let alone play from the Microsoft store.

I'm truly hoping this isn't intended.

If it isn't, it seems like this launcher was released half baked.

I'm sure this isn't a problem with my system since, one I'm not the only one, and two I've tried all online fixes to no avail.

I'd love some clarity or a timeline on when this will be fixed since I certainly can't use the last launcher.

to clarify; I own Java and don't plan on buying bedrock (especially since it's not working now, how would I know if it'd work for the bedrock version) and didn't think I'd have to.
