Actual behavior

Unable to install/run Minecraft: Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Legends although user bought them.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Mojang.MinecraftLauncher package in winget-pkgs and comparing the installed launcher version with the reported legacy version. Confirm whether Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Legends support is controlled by the package manifest or by the launcher itself; done means the package installs the appropriate supported launcher, with the issue's reproduction steps succeeding.
