He has been playing Minecraft lately. When we start the game together, his world loads, the UI frame is white, the game autosaves regularly, and all is fine. But when he starts it alone, the UI frame is red instead of white, and autosave is disabled. I figured he must be making different menu choices, but was not sure what it could be.
This morning, after Miles played for ~90 minutes in red mode, I was concerned he might lose his work, so I asked him to save it. When he tried, there was a notice that he was using a “trial texture pack” and would need to sign in to PSN in order to buy it before he could save. Evil.
Of course, Miles plays under his own local user, which is not associated with a PSN account. We tried signing in under Anna’s account, but the PlayStation will not let you use the same PSN account with two different local users. Our only option would have been, I guess, to create a PSN account for Miles specifically, which IIRC is against their TOS since Miles is under 13.
Anyway, Miles got impatient at this point and decided to just reload his game with the normal texture pack. I expected him to be upset, but instead he happily said, “Hmm, I broke this ice before. But I’m glad it’s back! Now I can break it again; it’s SO FUN!”
