The game came out in 2009. If you started playing as a two-year old child then, you'd be an adult now. A thirteen-year-old child would be a thirty-year-old adult.
So why would a 30-year old adult still be playing a game he played at 13? I understand 13 year olds playing it, I don't understand 30-year olds playing it
There definitely are things you grow out of. Things you liked as a child, that maybe you remember fondly, or can categorise as 'thing I liked', but won't entertain you as an adult. So I understand the core of what you're saying. But there are more things you liked as a child that, assuming the thing and context hasn't changed, you would still like as an adult. Did you like Pizza at 13? Did you stop liking Pizza since? Or chocolate cake. Or beer. Or the film Back to the Future?
The things you liked about Minecraft are still around in modern Minecraft. It's more likely that you'll still like it on the same merit than that it appealed to a part of you that has changed.
I've definitely outgrown most of the movies, toys, and videogames that I enjoyed as a child. The only people I know who play and love minecraft are kids of my friends. Even my daughter outgrew it, and she's 15.
