Minecraft didn't get shut down yet, only enshittified. I believe it's still very profitable due to the enshittification? I heard they sell skyblock maps for $8
I don’t fully agree with this because the original experience (Java version, private servers, 100% free content) is still extremely popular and the same as it always was.
I think it would be enshittification if Microsoft said “sorry, you now have to rent servers through us and all content comes from our content shop,” but that’s not the case.
Merely offering a product that has a bad value is not enshittification.
Is it enshittification if you heavily advertise the enshittified product and attract all the new users there? Like IRC and Discord, can we say Discord enshittified chat even though IRC is still around?
