alt Hacker NewsI broadly agree, though it does seem like Minecraft has some plot armor here. I think people are still buying and playing Minecraft a lot. I like Minecraft, I play it occasionally, but I guess it's a game that has much more staying power than average.
I though my grievances with Epic are primarily because we never got Jazz Jackrabbit 3.

There are some grievances with minecraft recently
Someone is suing mojang because they break EU/Swedish law (It was a youtube video worth watching)
Minecraft bedrock is having some incredibly shitty tactics to move people towards their marketplace while community calling it bugrock
I don't think that many people who play Minecraft really appreciate Mojang being bought by Microsoft. Many are oblivious to the fact sure but overall, community's sentiment is negative towards Microsoft buying Mojang imo.
My kids have a PS5 and a Switch 2 and really only use either of them for Minecraft.
Minecraft is kind of a perfect storm for longevity. It is a sandbox game, that has a lot of depth. But its also extremely easy to jump into casually (unlike idk Kenshi or Rimworld). Its also family friendly but not in a way that makes it off putting to adults so anyone 5-500 could play it. Its also not so expensive that people refrain from rebuying it on different platforms.
