The sub didn't shut down, Mojang said that they wouldn't be posting there anymore.

Still a big deal. Having a company owned by Microsoft decide to pull out of using your site is gonna drive traffic elsewhere. Reddit is only as useful as the content produced by users on it.

Oh yeah I didn’t mean to say that this doesn’t matter, it’s just a wildly different thing. Moran stepping away from Reddit as an official communication channel is a big deal but Mojang forcing a subreddit to close would be another level.
