I bought my copy of Minecraft years ago from Mojang. It took about 1 minute. So, how hard can it be to buy my kids their own copies? VERY hard, thanks to Microsoft. To sum up 3 long and frustrating hours: We needed to create Microsoft accounts for each child, "agreeing" to terms and conditions (aka selling your soul) every time. Then link them all together in Family Safety. Then download this dumpster fire of an app to manage it. Great, now lets log into the newly created MS accounts to buy Minecraft? Nope, we get an error message saying children need parental approval to make purchases. OK that's a good thing right, lets use the app to solve this. Now this where it all went to ****... Methodically looking through every possible setting, trying everything that seems relevant. All this to no avail, the stubborn error message still insist children needs approval to purchase. Thankfully it links to a help page, telling me to do just what I have been doing all this time. OK, lets ditch the app, and try using a PC to configure the accounts. This was slightly less confusing, but after about an hour of increasing frustration I could still not allow myself to buy Minecraft on the child accounts. Frantically googling for answers, I fianlly find a comment on a reddit post that seemed relevant. Apparently I need to use Family Safety, to open Xbox online gaming, to unvail a plethora of new settings. Of course! Nevermind that we want to play on PC, and we don't even own a single Xbox. Obviously it should be the Xbox settings. Carefully checking all 28 Xbox settings (I counted), I found the culprit. I need to allow "buy premium countent on the Xbox 360, Live Arcade, Xbox Games Store" and so on. So after setting this... Lo and behold, we are allowed to buy Minecraft! And all I took was over 3 increasingly frustrating hours. Congratulations Microsoft, you made this process about 180 times longer and a million times more frustrating.
