Best part about this news is suddenly Minecraft is an old and declining IP LOL.

Isn't the game like.. 3-4 years old? The actual release anyway.

3-4 years IS old in this industry!  Despite it being a bestseller, it is an aging game...and I would say that the vast majority of the lifetime sales of the game have already been rung up.

lol 3-4 is not old. And I agree it is in aging game. It's been around in one form or another for over 5 years now. But to say the IP is old, lol.

Furthermore there are tons of potential revenue in other areas. People are making a mistake when they do as you are and look at it purely from a game perspective.
