"Some of you might remember us announcing the Super Duper Graphics Pack during E3 2017. Super Duper was an ambitious initiative that brought a new look to Minecraft but, unfortunately, the pack proved too technically demanding to implement as planned.
We realise this is disappointing to some of you – there was a lot of enthusiasm for Super Duper from inside and outside the studio – but unfortunately, we aren’t happy with how the pack performed across devices. For this reason, we're stopping development on the pack, and looking into other ways for you to experience Minecraft with a new look."
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
Ben Porter from Newzoo explains that the player base has very little overlap with mainstream hits such as Assassin's Creed: Shadows and Ghost of Yōtei
I used to buy cheap games thinking I’d play them later, but I always ended up returning to my favorites. Now I skip the deals unless I know I’ll play the game soon.
This is very true, my nephews grew up on these two games and whenever I introduce them a AAA game whether old or new, it's like seeing an alien try to make sense of it and then quickly lose interest in it.
Can’t really expect a 8 year old Roblox kid to go buy resident evil 9 lol
Gaming trends are so weird to me now. Like, I’m old school and games were consumed essentially how movies were. You play through a title and look forward to the sequel or other things that came out. Now, that is so not the norm.

Funny how fans can make packs like this yet Microsoft/Mojang themselves can't.
Let this also be a lesson for other developers. Don't announce projects so far in advance when you're not even sure if/when it'll release properly (or at all, in this case).
I was actually looking forward to it and wondering why the pack wasn't mentioned last year or this year, I am very disappointed.
This is absolutely ridiculous. I’ve been patiently waiting for this to come out so I can jump back into Minecraft then this news happens..
I don't care either way, but I just hafto ask. You only work on Minecraft, or Minecraft related projects, you have nothing else to worry and yet you can't release a texture pack? You have a fanbase that has added Ray-tracing and realistic textures that make Minecraft look like an U4 engine tech demo in less time and for free. Yet you can't do this why?
