I sincerely doubt you received no notice from Microsoft. I received multiple emails from them, even though I didn't play back then. If I hadn't transitioned I'm pretty sure they would've kept sending me emails.
Doubt all you like. I checked multiple times after opening a ticket to make sure I hadn't missed something. I would actually be a lot less annoyed with them if I had.
Were you using a weird email provider? Maybe the emails were sent to spam. Or you were looking in the wrong email.
Nope, it was Gmail and I know it's the correct account because I have other emails regarding that account going back a few years including confirmations and a password reset.
I did check spam at the time. I really tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but all I can figure is my account slipped through some weird crack. It's likely I never would have even known if it weren't for my kid asking me one day if we could play together.
You come off sounding like an ass.
I'm just pointing out misinformation. Me (and many others) received plenty emails from Microsoft. I doubt that they only sent them to some people and not others.
I got no notice. I've got an alpha account.
