I think its a good game that you play with friends. It has a lot of minecraft (get resources and build shit) mechanics, so it is better played with others. I dont think you must play it now. Even if a lot of playes stop playing long the line, you can still enjoy the game with friends.
Also if I was an homophobic dad trying to make my child not gay, I would send it to a room full of girls dacing in tights, not to a room full of sweaty hairy men, touching each other and ending up in communal showers.
