Reminiscing on how kids of the 80s, 90s and 00s can all get games of their respective times via emulation and piracy, but anything inside Roblox is likely to be inaccessible when present day kids become adults and look back with nostalgia

Never be too sure about "will definitely be avalible". Microsoft/Mojang is doing evreything in their power to lock minecraft down and end the days of mods, backward support, and buy once own forever.

    How? They continue to develop Java alongside Bedrock and maintain both equally. Microsoft has had a decade to wind down Java but they don't. It seems like a general distrust of Microsoft is tainting their support for a developer, which history shows is inaccurate.

    Microsoft has been developing Minecraft for less than five years and ever since they have slowly been moving away from the FOSS-ish development style.
