They did not declare that.. they are adding Creative a mode that should have always been in game since it was purchased.
Survival is still part of the game, they are adding aspect to survival to make more of a survival game instead of the currently horrible Creative with mobs it is right now.
WANT PROOF?? Watch this video first 10 seconds Game mode: Survival or Creative NOT adventure !
No, I've watched the video. I'm talking about why people are saying this. THIS forum, and THIS thread starts out by saying the word "Replace."
Bah, all the noobs are getting excited about 1.8... The new biomes and world gen is long overdue, the NPC Villages are trash, the giant mushrooms and other random features are worthless, the combat improvements are stupid because PVP will inevitably suck in a game like Minecraft. Ultimately Minecraft has become all but one of the lamest attempts to engineer an RPG-style experience from what should only be a simple, sandbox-style game, as the game will always be held back by the limitations of Java and Mojang's senseless development decisions. The gameplay experience simply isn't enough to engage a serious gamer for more than a couple months, and a million of Notch's updates won't change that. Good riddance, Minecraft (and Notch).
"Adventure mode will be replacing Survival" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FOR THE LAST TIME PEOPLE THIS IS NOT ADVENTURE MODE! EVEN WHEN ADVENTURE COMES OUT IT WILL STILL HAVE SURVIVAL!!!!!!!!!
GOD!!!!! READ THE F*****NG WIKI!!!!!!!!!!!!
wait... So survival mode is being erased? I can't wait for adventure, but i still want survival. Why would they get rid of it? It's what made people buy the game...
Survival Mode... Is not... Deleted... This update changes so much of the current Survival Mode, it almost makes it LOOK like a new mode. It's still Survival though.

Wow dude you got to chilax and take a major jill pill. If you dont want to play minecraft anymore than dont but if your going to complain about every little thing notch is adding than you can go play something else. AND Never call Minecrafters noobs.

DUDE. WHY DOES EVERYBODY SAY THIS. ITS STILL THE SAME GAME, ITS JUST BEING RENAMED FROM SURVIVAL TO ADVENTURE AND MORE STUFF IS BEING ADDED
Although I don't like how you spawn with the diamond pick and diamond axe and so on in survival mode. I like how it is now where you start from scratch.
That was only for the demo at PAX so people could start exploring right away.
