Is the Minecraft Craze Over

[TheGoodSir]

Hey guys, I just wanted to see if some people agree with this topic or not. As a member of the eGO minecraft division, I think minecraft is still a big community. Some of my mates reckon that minecraft craze is over. They told me that it was just a craze because there was no game like it and when it came to release people didn't buy it. So I check this states and, 30,382,444 have registered to minecraft.net but only 6,060,518 have bought the game around 20 percent. With 6 million copies sold around 20-30 USD now 30 Euro at 30 USD thats a MASSIVE!!!! 180,000,000. While these numbers are impressive for a new release game by an unknown company, only 19-20 percent bought the game.

Do I think minecraft is dead?

My answer is no, because with 30 milllion registartions and 6 million copies sold I think it is still popular. pluse they didn't count in the BETA and ALPHA trails. If it wasn't popular Microsoft would not add it to their market.

It's popularity as "OMG LOOK AT THIS AMAZING GAME" has died down. Nothing else has, really, though.

Theres plenty of servers that have over 20,000 Members, just registered and active on the forums. They run servers of over 300+ slots a day with over 200 people active. EVERY DAY. I do think alot of people just got out of the game but I am sure that it will always be around and people will always play it.

Minecraft is definitely here to stay...

It's on xbox also, so I would say "No, it is not dead".

Yes minecraft goes in and out.
I played MC since alpha then I stopped playing for over a year because I did everything there was to do. But then I bought the game for my self and my best friend and we played on our private server non stop for a few month. Then I stopped playing for a year or more again and then I joined eGO and now I am one of the minecraft Event Coordinator. And I love it! With all the new updates coming every few months minecraft will never die out.
And if you get bored, find me and ill give you something to do

Things die all the time and people move on but it will be around for a while
