There's been a rumor floating around that it never existed as a game anyways and that the footage they do have is faked. It's definitely a bit out there, but with the way they've acted about it, I kinda believe it.

I would also think that https://www.vintagestory.at/ is in a good shape to compete for a great minecraft like game

Well it never was a Minecraft killer and was never really going to be either.
Luanti (formerly Minetest) is the Minecraft killer
It is such a superior experience compared to Minecraft.
Never heard of either of these projects.
Time is the only thing that will be a minecraft killer.
40 years ago, Super mario bros was the most impressive most popular game ever. Now, today, it still exists, but would you even BEGIN to play Super Mario Wonder in the same catagory of pop culture influence as Super Mario Bros 3?
There will come a day when minecrafts users become too old to care. But it won't be because another game does it better.
Improvements don't kill a culture. Apathy kills culture. Minecraft is less of a game and more of an entry in pop culture.

Much as I'm sure it's a quality entertaining game, with games as popular as Minecraft... the only thing that can kill it is collapsing under its own weight.

And where did you see these rumors?

How so? It certainly cant compete in the mods category, can it? As far as I recall Minetest had multiple "Minecraft clones" each differing in completion and differing in support for further mods. Has that improved?

Honestly the cancellation was years overdue. I‘m almost surprised it took them this long but then again it‘s not surprising they couldn‘t even get around doing that.
It’s honestly really surprising. Did this game employ people for a decade??

How is it superior? Is it approachable for kids around 7yo?
