Minecraft Has Over 91 Million Monthly Active Players
The developer is looking to diversify into new experiences like the recently announced Minecraft: Dungeons. However, Chiang is adamant about not having a true sequel. “I really don’t think that makes sense for Minecraft, given the community. It’s something that always fractures the community.”
Chiang says that keeping the community together is a core philosophy, even when it comes to how the franchise expands. “The way that we’ve decided to expand – and I think ‘Dungeons’ is the first example of that – is a way that we’re trying to keep our community together.
“That’s why our updates our free. We don’t want to ask [players] to move from ‘Minecraft 1’ to ‘Minecraft 2.’ We want them to just enjoy ‘Minecraft.’ And there’s other ways that we can expand that are more meaningful and authentic to what we want to be, rather than just releasing another iteration in the way that most other franchises do.”
On top of that, creative lead Jens Bergentsen – who’s worked with Mojang as a designer and programmer since December 2010 – succinctly expressed why a sequel is unnecessary. “I don’t think there’s really a need for ‘Minecraft 2’. You would be able to create a ‘Minecraft 2’ game in ‘Minecraft.’”
Minecraft: Dungeons, which is a dungeon crawler being handled by a “small and dedicated” team, will be releasing in 2019. It will head to PC first with no details on console versions (yet).

Lood People can hate on minecraft all they want but this game is still killing a high percentage of others as far as monthly players goes.
Most people that hate on it are more than likely the people that dont even play the game lol.
