Personally, I don't think it is. I mean, it is the most bought modern game to this day. If you ask someone what Minecraft is, they will know because on time or another, they have seen or played it. So is it really dead? No. If you look on servers like MinePlaza and Hypixel, there are still thousands of people on there. My theory is that Minecraft is perceived as a "nerdy" and geeky game and is associated with little kids. But me, being a 13 year old, I still love it. I don't understand whats not to love about it. Theres Pvp, Survival, Creative, and Mods for those who want more. You can literally play any game you want using Mods. Personally, I think that Minecraft is becoming less popular, but it is far from dead. I just think that it needs one big surprise to bring people back. I love this game and I'm telling you, don't listen to anyone who says that this game is dead, because millions of people will tell you, It is far from.
