    Eh, the same could probably be said of RuneScape but they tried revolutionizing the game and it alienated enough people that as a reaction they started a second game using old code from years before the update that split the community.

    Now there’s RuneScape 3 and Old School RuneScape… and Old School has the larger community.

      But it’s not broken so don’t fix it. [Minecraft]. They can fix bugs and game mechanics etc with updates. Almost anything can be changed, fixed or improved with that alone. If they make Minecraft 2, it would have to be completely different. Like MC story mode was a completely different game.

        But OP wants to “revolutionize” Minecraft, so Minecraft 2 being “completely different” wouldn’t be a negative.

          It ain’t broke don’t fix it. I would have to be a “conservative” on the MC category here.

        RuneScape 3 (RS3) wasn’t broken when Old School RuneScape (OSRS) was first announced or brought online either. It’s not doing well now, possibly to the point it’d be fair to call it broken, but that’s more of a slow decline over years that didn’t happen to OSRS.

        A big part of why OSRS was created was because a lot of people didn’t like the ‘revolutionary’ changes made to RS3 and didn’t like the direction the game was going in. A big part of why it’s still around and now more popular than RS3 is because it’s treated differently by Jagex and its community.
