I got so many emails from them telling me to transition the account or I would lose it. So they did give lots of notice.

Even tho it sucks losing access, it's still a great game worth every penny

So did most of my friends, but I checked multiple times and confirmed that I had nothing. I would have been a lot less annoyed with them if I had received an email and missed or ignored it. For whatever reason, the notifications never made it to me.

Probably spam filter? I remember consciously ignoring them for over a year until I finally gave in and converted.

A search in Gmail (which that used) finds stuff on spam. Also Gmail won't put a Microsoft company's mail in spam

I highly doubt that's true. I have gmail, and it puts official stuff in spam all the time.

Official stuff, sure, but not system generated email from giant companies like Microsoft

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

I've had system generated email from Valve go to spam (e.g. security codes). Same with security codes from major banks. It happens a lot less than smaller orgs, but it still happens.

I did check that at the time as well. Nothing was there.
