to add to that last post, i think older minecraft was just much more wild and unique for the time? like it was so fascinating to me. i was obsessed with it as a kid and i when i played i always had this sense of wonderment that i don't think any other game has replicated thus far. it was so mysterious, grand, frustrating, weird, and even depressing at points. it was such an amazing experience. the music, the atmosphere, the concept of the game. it was something different. it was nostalgic yet still new somehow. i remember playing and building my base in the side of a mountain. carving out my name and making my mark in the world. and when i braved the night and walked out in the morning i would look towards the horizon and always wondered what was over those neon green hills or what laid behind that neon treeline. did notch add another secret to the game? were there dragons in the game? villages of pigmen? ruined wizard towers? icons to ancient gods? lost ruins or dungeons? now i know whats in minecraft. now i know what to expect. that feeling of exploring the unknown, being a pioneer in a virtual world, and the sense of adventure are gone.
updates get announced because they're required to announce them and they have to include reports of whats being added and removed and why. certains features people want added were outright denied or debunked. there are 30 minute long videos with millions of views explaining every little facet of the game and its details. its been combed over and been overanalyzed to death. theres nothing left to explore. nothing left to find. overexposure kinda killed minecraft.
