By that logic, you could say the PS2 isn't dead, because it sold 155 million consoles (according to wikipedia). However, a game hasn't been released on it in 3 years (which was actually a shock to me, I expected it to be way longer ago). It's basically dead on this point (I'd estimate it as having 5% of active players compared to its peak).

I'm on a very long holiday now. I thought of returning to playing Minecraft on a daily basis but I need to figure stuff out about my Minecraft account first (especially as I haven't played since before Microsoft bought Minecraft so I am not familiar with the changes in the launcher and whatnot).

Main point is, I am going to return to Opticraft in the not-too-soon future.

Hope to see some familiar names around.

That's not logic, you can't compare a PC game to a console. In people seek out better consoles, but they don't seek out better Minecraft games - Minecraft is a one of a kind game with a huge following. It would be logic if the console generation stayed at PS2, people would still be playing it.

OzzyKP:
Minecraft is NOT dying. 


--- Quote ---Adams later went on to tell Polygon that the number of users playing Minecraft on the PC peaked 1.4 million on Friday, January 9. Interestingly Adams would later go on to say that approximately half of Minecraft players are going with single-player while the other half is doing multi-player. By comparison, not a single Steam game, not even Dota 2 has topped the one million concurrent player mark yet.

The PlayStation and Xbox console versions are going strong as well. The combined might of the PS3 and Xbox 360 passed the PC version just last June. With the PS4, PS Vita, and Xbox One editions now in player’s hands, and with a significant update, this train will not be slowing down anytime soon.

According to their stats site 13,000 people bought it in the last 24 hours, and I think that is just the PC version.

Picking small points here, but dota 2 passed the 1 million concurrent mark basically 1 day after that article was published

Maybe Minecraft isn't dying (I'd still say it is, but don't feel like the argument today), but Opticraft is. To me, that says something interesting, either about Opticraft, or about Minecraft in general.
