You need NSO subs just to play LOCAL? I have Minecraft on Switch but barely play it on anything besides PC, that really sucks ._.

If you’re still wanting to get Minecraft and the Hello Kitty stuff, the game is good on PC and I believe Xbox if you have either of those. You can also get it on mobile, but I haven’t bought Minecraft on my phone so idk if it’s any good (I would assume you’d need a newer phone for it to be decent but I don’t know, I guess you should just get it on Xbox, PlayStation or PC). Switch seemed decent for me, but aside from checking account stuff, I haven’t really played Bedrock on Switch since the Update Aquatic was still new so I don’t think I can judge it xD
Also I checked ingame on PC, the Hello Kitty DLC is $8.99 (if you pay directly, it automatically buys minecoins and uses them on the DLC, but it’s $1 cheaper than getting the coins yourself). Minecraft itself is $30, and note you only own it on the platform you buy it on despite it having crossplay multiplayer (so if you only buy it on Xbox, you can’t play it on anything else).
You should own the Hello Kitty DLC on every platform you own the game on, though, as long as you used the same Microsoft account when buying the game and when logging in; I remember buying something from the marketplace on Switch and I could use it on PC too.
Minecraft on its own is also fun if you like survival games (it’s probably one of the easiest survival games, too) or just like building anything you want; there’s also a creative mode where you can fly, can’t get hurt or die (except from the void or the kill command in Java Edition), and you have infinite blocks etc. in your inventory. It can feel lonely on your own, however, but singleplayer is still fun imo.
You can also install free mods, download free skins, and other stuff for Java Edition on PC, which you can buy with Bedrock for the same $30 price
(though Bedrock is only available on Windows PCs and I guess maybe Chromebook, while Java should work for Mac and Linux too)
There’s also free stuff you can get for Bedrock from websites like MCPEDL, but I only know for certain you can install it all on PC. There might be a way to at least get free skins, resource packs and maybe maps on mobile and Xbox too, but I’m not sure.
As for Notch, he sold Mojang to Microsoft in 2014 so he hasn’t had anything to do with the game ever since.
