I wonder how many times I've seen people say Minecraft is out of relevance and yet...

I didn't say it is out of relevance. I said it is on its way out of cultural relevance. As in, it's slowly dwindling over time. Nothing extremely popular disappears over night. It will take decades. And it's not that I don't like it, I bought Minecraft on alpha 1 and something. 14 years ago. Have played every single update until recently, and played almost everything it has to offer.

However much I love it, I can also recognize that it is no longer like the heyday of popularity around 2015, when the default YouTube page was plastered with Minecraft let's plays, and the only non-Minecraft streamers on the newly minted Twitch brand were WoW players and speed runners. Kids are no longer making Minecraft fanfic comics, and there's fewer Minecraft themed birthdays. Again, the average Minecraft player has a higher chance of having kids by now than being a kid themselves.
