I think Minecraft is a poor example to point to for this. Minecraft is a sandbox game, and doesn't have a story. While you can certainly decide your sandbox game is 'done', it doesn't have a endpoint that a story-driven game has.
Minecraft also 'incredibly' has first-party support for downloading and playing any previous version of the game. There's and incredibly vibrant community playing the game on years old versions of the game (mainly for modding).
- bombcar 3y agoMinecraft is perhaps the quintessential example of how to do it right - you can play today on the latest, or you can download still-developed 1.7.10 modpacks (and play them on Java 21 if you want muahahah). Contrast this to World of Warcraft where you cannot play anything but the current latest (except via the now-released Classic, which still isn't the same as "preserve this version forever"). Factorio has also been "never really done" but they work hard to make the modding interface (and especially save games) stable.
- piperswe 3y agoCan you actually run 1.7.10 modpacks on Java 21? I thought 1.7 was stuck on Java 8
- bombcar 3y agoYou can, because 1.7.10 modders are insane. https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/lwjgl3ify https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/lwjgl3ify https://wiki.gtnewhorizons.com/wiki/Installing_and_Migrating#MultiMC_or_Prism_Launcher_with_Java_17-21 https://wiki.gtnewhorizons.com/wiki/Installing_and_Migrating...
