[Request] [Xbox] Minecraft: Java and Bedrock Edition (18$ as of the time of writing this)

REQUEST

Hi there people of r/GiftofGames, this is my second time requesting Minecraft, a game I always played and never owned, I played it for 7+ years and yet never engaged with it's community, not because I don't want but because I can't call it mine.

Minecraft is a game I started playing when I was in grade 4, An old friend of mine introduced me to it and shared a cracked version of Minecraft for mobile (Bedrock Edition), and I just fell in love, the game simply swallowed me with the amount of stuff I can build and create, from cities, buildings, its own version of electricity and mechanical systems, the power to basically do almost everything I could imagine if I wanted.

I played it whenever I could, back in grade 4 on my way to and back from school, so much so that over time I was able to beat having motion sickness while using my phone, I played it during empty classes, when I was back home after finishing my homework, it was quite literally the only game I cared to play.

I vividly remember building my own quartz house (basically a white modern/futuristic mansion that's very minimal) with its own hidden doors, sealed pool area that can be unsealed, decorating it and being so obsessed with just building, I also remember having fun with trying my luck with command blocks (basically Minecraft's version of ingame coding) and I made my own security camera system and I was just having a blast.

Years later, I got to know a new friend group where we all wanted to play Minecraft together, but we couldn't afford it so we used a very infamous cracked client for pc (TL launcher) which is known to be shady and not recommended at all, but we didn't know that and we were just ignorant little kids who wanted to play together, we made a Minecraft server almost yearly since then, I spent on average 100+ hours on every server we made, building my own houses as I imagined them, I just didn't follow tutorials, and I quickly found out I am a very good builder and that my bases were almost always the centre piece of the server, it was the place where most people went to and crossed more than anything, and it was just a blast, also if you want I still have the backups of the last 2 servers if you wanna see the stats and builds in person, full walkthrough if needed!!

Here are some pics of the last 2 bases I made on the server from 1 and 2 years ago.

They were one of my favourite moments ever, but, I couldn't really experience Minecraft fully, I just couldn't, and there is a lot I wanna experience and play for myself.

I would love to experience Build Battles -A gamemode where you compete against other players building stuff from a random theme- and I watched a ton of YouTube videos just wishing I could test my skills out, see if I am that good against other passionate builders and chuckle when someone troll builds.

I watched a ton of role-playing experiences like ish's 1000 players civilization where players make alliances, go to war, fight over resources and more....and I wished I was there, I wished I could have been playing with literally hundreds of players on the same server fighting for my own survival and making my own alliances and new friendships.

I would love to play competitively against or with other players, we never really had the numbers to have teams, our servers were 5 players max and only like 3-2 online one at a time.

I want to be there when new content drops, to play Bedrock -Minecraft version that is made to be cross platform- Which I never tried on pc at all and not in 6 years now on mobile, the version with the most amount of players, and the version that supports you joining your friends world and playing together without a hassle at all, it's literally a button click.

All of these are things I could never experience without owning it officially... and that raises the question:

Why can't I buy it and why I am here?

Currently, I can't buy Minecraft myself; I live in Egypt and It costs 1472EGP and the average income is around 8-12k, and that's barely enough money to get by, and I am not rich myself, and with the great economy we have (it was 15 EGP for 1$ now it's 50+EGP for 1$)

Best part: The Central Bank Of Egypt, The one that any foreign transaction has to go through, closed foreign currency exchange for everything except credit cards (which i don't have and are just not possible for me) and debit cards already using foreign currency. 

So yea even if you had the money it's still a hassle

So, Now I am here kindly asking for the chance to experience Minecraft fully, I want to experience all the countless videos I watched in person, make my own memories and version of them, to make new friends and interact with the amazing community in more ways than I ever could, to know I can be there when new stuff drops, and to simply have more Minecraft.

I just want to have my own legitimate copy, not have to be constantly reminded that I don't own the game of my childhood, and always having to hide the fact that I am not a legitimate player.

Thank you so much for giving me the chance and reading this, I know it's a bit long, my bad.. and I hope you have a wonderful day whoever you are!!
