Eh, Bedrock is a much easier sell to my friends than Java was back in the day. Even the least technical manage to play together.

Remember when two decades ago even the dumbest kid could figure out how to punch an ip address into teamspeak and CS1.6?

I think you'd be a little privileged if you had a gaming PC and internet in 2003.

I guess it depends where you live? In the Western would that should be pretty normal. Not that everybody had it, a lot of people just didn't care, but if you wanted to be online with a low-tier gaming rig it's not like that cost an arm and a leg. And people played CS on full-on potatoes back in the day. 512*384 low details software renderer with 15fps.

There's a heck of a lot fewer mods, and they're far less interesting. Not to mention its redstone leaves something to be desired.

I don't think my crew was ever super into mods. When we ran servers the most we would add was WorldEdit and /home commands.

I had one friend super into Tekkit but frankly "automate things so you can automate those things better" games never appealed to me a ton.
