Micro$oft does it again

[Short Version]
Minecraft by itself is fine and works perfectly. Just dont buy ANYTHING from the store. You cant access them.

[Long Version]
Minecraft in itself is a perfectly good game. Ive played this game long before it even left pc, now I play it with my nephew, and Microsoft has done exactly what they do best, turn a good popular game into a greedy profit focused mini market full of stuff little kids cant resist, not only that, they ensure you cant keep track of wether or not your getting your moneys worth by using alternate currency. I play this game with my nephew now and he wanted some items. So along with skins and texture packs, I purchased a realm for 2 players so he could play whenever with/without me. That being said
...

Minecraft the game is still doing perfectly fine.
However I dont recommend buying ANYTHING from the store as theres tons of bugs that will keep you from being able to access your purchased items, Realms specifically being he worst of all, doesnt even create your realm, it just accepts your payment, which recurs every month btw, and wont let you access it. Skins and Texture packs only work if your signed in to your xbox account, which can go wrong at any given moment apparently so youre not in control of your own access to your items even though they will happily take your payments.

I hope this helps someone out there and saves them their money. I also wish the Minecraft dev team well, this is not directed towards them. Hope this gets resolved, but Microsoft knows full well this was preventable, this game is already turning into greedy quick profit run.
