I've been wondering if Minecraft will just be shut down? (Bad For Youtubers)
I think it will one day but probably not for a while. What do you think?

Games like RuneScape and WOW have been open for 10+ years. So no Minecraft won't die as long as new updates, mods, maps, and resource packs are made.

I don't think so, it never will I believe. It's a game anyone can play, and there's such a huge community behind it. And besides, it's the modern Lego haha and when did lego ever get boring? Never (That's my opinion though, and I think no one has ever called Minecraft that) And there's so much to do in the game, by the time anyone gets bored of it computers should have ceased to exist then

It's still making money, so I'm sure Mojang have no plans to "shut down" Minecraft soon. What's the point of getting rid of something if it's making you rich? And no matter how many people say that its popularity is declining, people are always buying it.
So no, Minecraft isn't going to be shut down, certainly not anytime soon. It may possibly be abandoned in the future, but even abandoned games still work, so long as they aren't always online.

I seriously don't think it will die out for quite a long time, if you think it gets boring for you seriously just stop playing minecraft then.
1
If you could run MC would you? And if yes how long do you think you could keep it going.
1
I wouldn't but if I did, I would probably put all the effort I have into an update that adds fish and birds or something then just procrastinate for the rest of my life to do anything else.

herobrine6197There is one saying, "What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger."This is the saying that has kept me going for over a year now. Be true to yourself and know that you can always do better
This is NOT true. Getting shot in the spine will paralyze you for life.
Actually, it's a LOT more likely that that will end up killing you. Therefore, the saying is correct.
Assuming the shot doesn't puncture the heart, lungs, stomach, or pancreas on it's way through, it will likely sever the Conus Medullaris or the Hepatic Artery, disconnecting the brain from vital organs, or causing massive hemorrhaging.

Maybe 2 years more and than it'll die out

z3rx20Thats stupid, a game CANNOT last for more then 10 years. no matter what it is.
Pokemon Red. Still greatly popular. The first Japanese version was released back in 1996. Eighteen years ago. Think Pokemon Red is a bit too far back? Pokemon Ruby is still pretty popular, being originally released with Sapphire in 2002 in Japan. That's twelve years ago. How about good ol' SimCity 4? I play it, as well as many others do. Heck, I saw some images of it on a rather popular subreddit just today. Released originally in 2003. Eleven years ago.
These are just two games that I thought off the top of my head. There are probably waayyy more that I could also mention.
There will probably be a clone superior to minecraft, possibly being in developed as we speak. but most clones are abandoned or aren't finished
The ability to read has disadvantages - you end up reading stuff like this.

a game like Minecraft isn't going to die. while the playerbase might shrink some, there's too much creative potential in it for it to die. Even if mojang stopped developing it, (which is unlikely, btw.) the playerbase would still be modding it and improving it for years to come.
Also, to the genius above me that said that no game lasts for more than ten years no matter what, I'd like to point out WoW, and a large number of other MMOs as well, just as multiplayer examples.
Also, sales for packman nearly zero? Stop pulling statistics out of your ass.

Maver speaks the truth. A sub for you, my good sir.

Keep in mind, everyone, that Minecraft has only been around for five years, and purchase numbers have already seen a sharp decline.
Don't forget lots of people out there have quit Minecraft because it's en over-played, over-developed, whatever.
Minecraft is probably approaching the end of it's life and won't see another five years.

PE and XBOX editions have started selling ALOT more than the PC edition. The computer version isn't the only.

Consoles are on their way out, too, as tech progresses. If people stop playing it on PC, they probably won't play it on console.

mario?

Pokemon blue is still kind of popular, and it's more than 10 years old. Your argument is invalid.
Also pacman.
Also pacman.
1
Sales for Pacman are almost zero. His argument, and mine, are both extremely valid.
You've cited only one real example. Pokemon may still be around, but millions of other games have come and gone in that time.
Dead games far outweigh the number of games that still have steady sales after ten+ years.

The world already ended in 2012, so I'd consider that the end of Minecraft...

Really? 2012 was two years ago and you're still making jokes about it?

JdawsomeI would love if minecraft removed this (ability to change your name” garbage
It hasn't been added yet.
Jdawsomebecause on my server many people have been bullied and “trolled” via this way.

No they haven't

Minecraft will keep going for a loooooooooong time. This is due to servers, YouTube, and the open world gameplay. Mainstream MineCraft will die out by 2024(10 years), but it will definitely still be played. There will be huge servers still going, and I expect a lot of people still playing Solo or with their brothers/friends.

In my opinion, it might, Mojang has taken a hard swipe at the server game and provided their own inferior one. I dont have a clue what is next. I would love if minecraft removed this (ability to change your name” garbage because on my server many people have been bullied and “trolled” via this way. Also now all my ban lists have been reset and i am hoping that there is a special gift coming for server owners, because that is who is keeping minecraft popular.

You cannot change your name currently.
Also, minecraft may lose its popularity, but I don't think it'll be shut down.

The point is that he still owns Mojang.

You can't just throw out a random guess like "it will last at least 5 years from now" or "somewhere between 5 and 10 years".
Because it's actually quite simple: as long as developing Minecraft is a sound business for Mojang, they will continue doing it. It is by far their biggest cash cow and the very foundation of the entire company (which has grown to a decent size by now). When the turnover is no longer enough to support the company, they will have to either rethink the business model (the pay once, get all updates for free is good for us players, but not for them) or maybe sell out, but I doubt Notch would accept that as a viable outcome. Even though he doesn't actively work on Minecraft anymore, it's still his baby. I don't think he would even consider "giving away" his master piece to another company.
My best guess is that whenever they run into that wall, Mojang will try everything they can to keep it going. That could be anything; lay off staff and cut expenses in general, take on investors, have a global donation campaign and so on. Whenever the time comes when the game can't support the company any longer and they believe they have done everything they can to save it, they will make the game open source. There's no doubt about that. Open sourcing it is totally in the spirit of Notch and the company itself. So in that sense, Minecraft will never "die". But at some point Minecraft will no longer be the big thing it is today. Other games will come and steal away players. At least I hope so. As much as I love Minecraft, I trust that games will evolve even further in the future.
But when? That entirely depends on our willingness to buy new licenses.

I have feeling that it will die. Because: Ideas. I think Mojang will put suggestions forum

You honestly think Minecraft is going to die within 5 years? No.. it absolutely wont. Not even in 10 years. Even if Mojang stops developing it, another company will see the potential, take over, figure out their own way to make money with it, and it will continue living on. This is one of the only games like this. I highly doubt anything will be able to replace it for a few decades.

I love how some conversations get off topic. I love the internet.

Question is not will (as far as I'm concerned, EVERYTHING we have today will die out sooner or later), but WHEN.
And that? I'd say probably in the next 5 years.

on a time line i would say that minecraft will die out sometime between today and worldwide human extinction but that's just a guess.

Eh, not close enough for OP's liking.

I think at one point Notch stated on Minecraft.net that when sales go down to an all-time low, that he would release the Minecraft source code. This would likely happen if they stooped updating too. I which case, the community could update the game.
1
Minecraft won't die for a long time. And even after a long time, they might just stop updating it, but keep the servers up and stuff. The Minecraft website said under "Game" and "What is Minecraft?" Notch had said that the game will keep updating and servers will stay up as long as there's a community keeping the game alive. And I don't know about you, but I think the Minecraft community is huge. Once Jeb took over, he changed the information given under "Game" and "What is Minecraft?" but I assume he has the same goals as Notch when it comes to this topic.

I wish Minecraft was left to Notch to code. I kind of miss the original Minecraft 1.2.5, before they started adding junk that nobody needs. *Cough new biomes*

See, this is what I hate.
People want horses for years, they add horses,
"JEEEBB GET NUTCH BACK PLS U R BAD AN U SHUD FEEL BAD I DUN LIKE HURSES"
No matter what you do somebody is going to complain.
