Minecraft Java edition isn't really that though.

Roblox is in a class of its own compared to fortnite and minecraft in terms of toxic monetisation.

Online gaming is definitely a tough one to navigate though, regardless. I had no problems as subscription was the limit to paying when I was a kid, but now it's a generation raised with mtx.

I'm glad the the Java edition still has none of that. The last time I got the urge to download it they required an account to even get the installer and I feared the worst. It looks like that might no longer be the case... I may give it a try again and kill some time

You do still need an account but (Microsoft Account) but the game itself has no DLCs, no lootboxes and the likes.
