Minecraft is now Adult Only in South Korea

Microsoft is now forcing South Korean players to use Xbox live accounts. Xbox is doing this as part of their migration from Mojang accounts. Xbox Live accounts are restricted to 19 years old and up. The restriction stems from the 2011 “Cinderella Law” prohibiting kids and adults from playing together.

Here is the latest update to Minecraft that has players returning to the game:
