Is this close enough?

There's DLC too...

And maybe someone has a mod that makes it play as 'official' minecraft.

Good luck

that's a spinoff game, totally different genre to the main game. i may buy it just to have it on my profile but it does not solve my issue

microsoft doesn't have a flawless platform like steam to submit my ideas on : (

Mojang doesn't want it here and neither does Microsoft.

Even Notch never wanted it on Steam.

I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't 2 caveats for MS purchasing Minecraft. Keep Java and never put it on Steam.

Its still 100% up to them as the owners of Minecraft to put the game on Steam or any other platform.

You need to go and ask them, Valve won't go and ask for you.

Because Valve takes a cut and they don't want to share any of the revenue with Valve or Epic Games or GoG.

All of your money could go to MS and Mojang. PLUS you can get Bedrock and Java for only $39.99 CAD.

No Valve won't. They don't go around asking people/companies to put their games on Steam.

If Valve was going to do that, they would have done it MANY years ago when there was many more threads on here asking for Minecraft to be put on Steam.

They don't do it for any game, not even something like Minecraft.

Because your 40 dollars is not enough to entice them to put it on Steam. They just don't want it on Steam for what ever reason. They have many other platforms that they can and have put it on and thats just fine for them.

that makes sense on the surface but a) the number of people who'd rebuy the game just to have it on steam and b) the number who have never bought because it isn't on steam is surely enough to counteract the revenue split? i'd be surprised if it didn't get to hundreds of thousands if not over a million sales day one on steam

Minecraft has sold over 300 million copies as of October 2023, Mojang announced during last year's Minecraft Live (via Windows Central).

Minecraft has over 166 million monthly active users as of 2024. Minecraft had over 25 million peak daily active players in 2023.

They're doing fine without Steam. Nearly beating out Steam's own numbers and on Steam, that counts for tens of thousands of games that are available.

It's not 0 effort.

And Bedrock's own marketplace makes bank too.
