my boy's about to turn 7 and we've had a bit of messing about in creative mode on the Switch. He's not massively into it yet but I think it'll come sooner rather than later.
Annoyingly my old PC licence seems to have disappeared without trace (support do not reply, I've got an email confirming my switch over from the old Java client to Mojang or something but that's about it) so I'll have to buy it again if we do that. I've just got a 3080 (Nvidia FE version) so I'm kinda keen to try out RTX in it.

No

Both
Notch could have followed up on his promise to open source the game when he got bored of it and still struck a licensing deal with Microsoft for the brand/etc. Microsoft could then go ahead with everything they're doing, but there'd also be a Open Source fork that'd maintain Linux support and make the shit changes optional.
