I work for an organization that is looking to roll out Minecraft to some managed chromebooks, which in theory have the ability to run it. However when I go to add Minecraft to the list of allowed Play Store apps, it will not let me. It seems to let me allow any other app except Minecraft. Does anyone know why this might be? Here is a video clip showing the issue

               EVGA 650 GQ | AOC 60Hz Freesync Panels x2 | AOC 144hz Freesync Panel x1

Epsilon- I7 2700k | Asus GTX 970 | Corsair 780t | DDR3 8GB 1600MHz | EVGA Z68 FTW Mobo

We're based in Canada which is a supported country. Our organization doesn't use a VPN

The only reason I can think of for this would be that Minecraft as an app costs money, and you would need to purchase it for all of the devices.

i like trains 🙂

After further investigation it seems this would be the reason, it looks like the way apps are licensed changed recently
