And yes you have to spend it all

Edit: There are a lot of little good things in these answers that I often ignore. Thanks everyone.

    For zero monies you & your friends could run VoxeLibre which has better performance characteristics. Microsoft doesn’t deserve your money or your user data, but I am sure VoxeLibre or Minetest wouldn’t mind a donation.

        It’s being milked for Bedrock & there are dozens of free software alternatives with VoxeLibre being a standout

            At that point play the free alternative and dont give your money to Microsoft. Do you love throwing your hard earned money at Microsoft?

                Have you tried the free alternatives? I guess to me its not the price alone its the principles of giving Microsoft money.

                    Cause they have a history of embrace, extend, and extinguish, and they have played a key role in enshittification of tech and internet.

            They are more than complete/polished with multiplatform support, with healthy modding communites, & better performance since they aren’t built on Java. In the past your money went to the developers—now it goes to megacorp Microsoft with little done in terms of maintenance.
