It is possible that it could be a rumor from another company, I mean if you look at this realistically, basically anyone can post something like that on social media, it gets popular, people believe it, and it ends up here. An ordinary person like me could go around telling everyone that Mojang is being shut down today and they would probably believe it. I'm not saying this is fake but there is always that possibility...
OMG!!! I just thought of a GREAT profit plan!!! Get with the program (no pun intended) and keep up with the systems maybe??? My PS4 wallet has $40 bucks on it from incentives this and that. What was an easy answer 8 months ago whether it goes on Kingdom Hearts 3 or Minecraft has now become a race to the finish line. If y'all think I'm insane, all Mojang is seemingly caring about is their Realms updates. Time is getting the best of them. You market your product while in its prime. This is getting to almost be like Nokia selling their IP rights to their 1990's Snake game on the iOS App Store today and expecting a profit on the game!
Even if Mojang does close, it'll leave minecraft how it is, and will not take down minecraft. Or if it does happen, someone will take it on. Why not, Ey?
Stance for Internet Freedom - Persson tweeted, on January 13th in 2012, that Mojang would "silently take down minecraft.net and mojang.com" as part of the 18th January protests against SOPA and PIPA. Persson said of the Stop Online Piracy Act and similar anti-pirating laws, "No sane person can be for SOPA. I don't know if we're sane, but we are strongly, uncompromisingly against SOPA, and any similar laws.
Mojang could shut down their company and Minecraft. So, they make 816.099 M SEK per year. That means Minecraft will stay until 40-55 years or 20-35 years.
This wasn't a rumor at all, you might want to read all of it and understand.
TL;DRing it is not a valid reason
Anyway, since Minecraft is just a game, there are numerous possibilities for it to be unsupported anymore.
The fact that it is a modern Lego type of thing is cute and all but may be lost in time that the players age.
A lot can happen in 10 years, and I think 10 years is more than enough for us to play Minecraft and get bored after a while.
While the possibilities in gameplay is endless, the fact that it get's tedious and repetitive (Modding capabilities are endless)
is just enough reason to look away from it and play other games. all of these can happen within that ample amount of time.
Let's just accept that Minecraft can't be supported by Mojang forever and that we can't support Minecraft forever.
It's just going to die, sometime in the future. But unless the last person logs out from playing minecraft or the last person playing hunger games servers gets bored, we still had fun while it lasted.
TL;DR: Neither us or mojang can support minecraft forever, the game and the community is bound to die sometime in the future.
Until then will we not have to look for other games.
This would make people unhappy. Mojang will not shut down until further notice and no one has been notified that they will be shutting down therefore this was just some silly rumour that someone made up and is really not worth discussing. Mojang is make hundreds if not thousands on games especially games such as Minecraft and Scrolls. The rumour is not true and the case should be dropped from now and on.
They can't shut down Minecraft. Tons of people buy it and millions of people would hate to see it go. This rumor is completely untrue and whoever started it is the stupidest person on earth. Minecraft will live for at least another 20 years!

Just like Sega never died.
Long live Sonic!!!
Thank god they still make systems and didn't sell out and put Sonic in a Mario game.
Minecraft will be giving them a lot money for at least 3 more years. Cobalt is an awesome game. (I bought it) Scrolls looks awesome so I'm going to buy it soon.
O_O
It was already developed by Mojang.

As do all Minecraftians.
"When in doubt use DIAMONDS."
I have had that happen to me multiple times ...And all involved Minecraft.
Cobalt is an awesome game. (I bought it)
Scrolls looks awesome so I'm going to buy it soon.
