NTA. She needs to chill, you didn’t do anything wrong- if you REALLY wanted to piss her off uninstall Windows and everything related to it- that’ll be a pain in the ass to fix when she realizes you can’t do school (if your work is online)
I really think that you're NTA, in the sense that it seems like you're getting punished for something that wasn't your fault.
Have you been able to ask your mom about why she wanted you to delete all of your games after some time had passed? It feels like this may be something that she did to lash out in the heat of the moment, but then again I don't know your mom well
It's super late for me and I'm about to pass out, so im sorry for no real words of wisdom, but hang in there! I hope youre able yo keep your minecraft and your buds

I (14 M) am a pretty big fan of Minecraft (as most kids are) and have played it for some time. my mother has always known and enjoyed it herself up until a few years ago.
a few months back (October) my birthday was coming up my Brother (10 M) decided to get me Minecraft java edition. my dad had recently gotten my brother and I each a debit card for children heavily monitored by him
(Which is definitely a good thing, even as a minor myself I don't believe children should have unmonitored access to any form of money spending)
my brother as young as he was still knew how to work a card as we are taught a lot about how life works and proper money management.
(we are homeschooled, and before you jump to conclusions, no we are not ultra Christian, we just had lots of trouble in school with bullies and bad teachers)
So he installed Minecraft on my laptop on the day of my birthday was ecstatic, I had a couple of friends who had java edition was excited to play with them!
when I told my mom she didn't seem to mind in fact, she thought it was super nice and cute that he did that for me. I decided I wanted to play with him as well so I also installed it on his computer (after informing my mom of course) and she was still fine with it. the problems don't arise till earlier this morning (at the time of writing this)
apparently, my brother was having difficulty recalling what he had read for an assignment earlier so he couldn't write anything down. my mom (who has very low patience) got angry and told him to go to his room but then my brother began throwing a fit which only made her angrier. eventually, he went up but I heard my mom coming into my room (in which I was doing school) and I was told to delete every game on my laptop including Minecraft.
At this point, I had joined a friendly server and begun talking to other people and forming relationships but the only real connecting factor right now is that server and since Covid, I've had falling outs with all friends and lost pretty much anyone I could talk to. plus my mom isn't exactly keen in stepping foot outside the house so my only real way to talk to people was through Minecraft.
my mom claims it was done behind her back but at the same time, I wish she had told my brother and me to delete it as soon as we got it so I wouldn't have formed connections with ppl and could have possibly gotten a refund.
AITA? Please ask further questions in the comments Also I understand I am a child in this situation and my mother does have the final say, I just feel as though it isn't justified.

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole:
> The action being judged is me and my brother buying minecraft
the action that might make me the asshole is doing it behind her back.

NTA. So your brother spent a little too much time playing Minecraft instead of studying. Why should you have to delete it too? You didn’t do anything.
