Decided to buy Minecraft on a separate, anonymous Outlook account to delete one of my existing old Outlook accounts and stumbled upon this.

      No. I’m just pointing out how odd this post is.

      You even mentioned something about an “anonymous” outlook account. Considering you just made a point about how invasive Microsoft is around privacy. That account is far from anonymous. I guess if you decided not to put your initials and birth year in the handle, then maybe that’s what you mean.

      Ya normally don’t see people post privacy concerns in a privacy community, with the content of the post being to register and then purchase from the thing you’re alerting others about. Take that however you’d like. I really don’t have anything else to say about it.

        If the outlook account is only tied to the minecraft account and Microsoft doesn’t know who made the outlook account, isn’t that pretty safely private? Ofc microsoft can read the emails, but they won’t contain any personal info of OP.
