Due to the age of Minecraft, and not needing a email to sign in, many of the email address's that were linked to old accounts had been forgotten, lost, or deleted. This left players unable to migrate their old Mojang accounts, even if they were aware of the situation. Microsoft offered little support to these players as, even during the migration period, it was not made easy to contact the people behind Minecraft. Support was not replying to questions about the migration process and issues with it.
