I had to buy the game as a gift, then type the product key in manually on the kids account, because for some reason it wouldn't send it as email...
I also tried to buy the game as the kid, parental control blabla, I got a request that the kid wants the game, and when I went to pay for it as myself, on behalf of the kid, it wouldn't let me change the country from United States, so I couldn't enter a valid billing address...
All this took hours, while the kid impatiently nags "can we play, can we play, can we play"...!! And then it's the /insane/ launch times to start playing... At the very least, once you're in the game (java edition) it all works very well with LAN multiplayer.
