With Microsoft being Minecraft's new developer,there has been a lot of fuss if Minecraft is going to shut down or anything like that.For the most part,its really completly your decision if Minecraft is going to be shut down.What I mean,is that once Minecraft loses enough players,then it will shut down.So really,it would be you who makes Minecraft's future.But with that being said,many might later turn on the game and go for something better in the future.But don't worry about that happening.Minecraft has sold millions of copies of games and is considered to be one of the best games out there today.But alas,everything good has to come to a end.One day Minecraft will be shut down.But there are many more minor reasons why it may be shut down one day.Like the orginal Flappy Bird,your love may instead harm it,instead of help it.You may become to addicted to it and Mojang might pull the plug on the game.But alas,this is one of many minor reasons to shut down Minecraft,being its very doughtful that Minecraft will shut down because of these reasons.Even if it is shut down,they would probuley only stop updating it.You could still play Hunger Games with your friends in Multiplayer,take down Zombies in Singleplayer,raid a faction's base,ect.I hope I made everything a lot more clearer,now that I explainded the facts,to everyone who is still confused.
