Minecraft: More Than Ten Years Later and Still Going Strong

It’s kind of amazing to me that Minecraft is over a decade old now and yet is still very relevant in today’s gaming landscape. How many games can boast a similar feat? I mean sure there are games that still inspire today’s works and plenty of games that people still play, but how many games can claim both of those qualities and still be a legitimate major force in the business? Precious few, that’s to be sure. A major factor is almost certainly the sheer freedom and creativity allowed by the private server systems and indeed fans’ own ingenuity, but I think the core of Minecraft is just that plain good. I’ve only ever engaged with the vanilla game, and I still can’t help but come back every so often to explore and build within a new world.
