Microsoft pulls 'Minecraft' for Apple TV due to low demand

You probably didn't have a hankering to build Minecraft worlds on your Apple TV, and Microsoft has quietly acknowledged that reality. The company recently started notifying players that it had stopped updating and supporting the Apple TV version of the game on September 24th in order to "reallocate resources to the platforms that our players use the most." To phrase it differently, there weren't enough people playing to justify the investment. The game will continue to work, including Marketplace purchases, but you won't see new features. If you made any Minecraft purchases for Apple TV within 90 days of the original announcement, you can ask for refunds. It's somewhat telling that people didn't even draw attention to Minecraft's fate on Apple TV until well after the 24th -- you'd have heard about it right away on most other platforms.
