When it says servers are coming soon does that mean no access to official Realms servers currently too, or are we just talking 3rd party servers like Mineplex ?

That's pretty cool of Microsoft! They could have chosen not to publish it on their biggest competition, but they did. They even took it a step further and allowed cross-platform play. This is a very different company than the one I remember, but in a good way.

True, but it's also not that surprising considering the weakened position they're in as far as hardware sales go. If they released all the IPs they have licenses for only on XB1, their gaming division would be in the red in no time.

Yeah that's true too. Of course they wouldn't do it without something to gain, but even during the 360 era, they weren't too keen on any sort of cross-platform play, so it's still awesome to see something like this.
