As Stardew Valley fans continue to wait patiently for the previously announced 1.7 update, creator Eric Barone (ConcernedApe) has dropped a couple small, vague, yet exciting hints about what said mysterious update might entail: a new farm type, and "more character/social stuff."
“Cash cow”. What a rude misrepresentation of a game that’s released large, free updates for nearly a decade on a game that’s never cost more than $15 usd, that many get hundreds of hours of enjoyment from.
If it was about money, it would be blatantly obvious, with mtx and dlc shoved into every pore. This is a passionate creator that just can’t stop adding more.
Why kill a cash cow? Just keep updating and releasing for new platforms.
If it was about money, these updates would be bundled into a DLC, or they would be focused on churning Haunted Chocolatier out.
ConcernedApe is just a swell guy who loves Stardew Valley
I suspect he just goes back to the star dew hole when he feels stuck on haunted chocolatier.
Stardew was a passion project and has made enough money at this point that he could just retire so I expect he would quit when he has had enough.
Yeah it’s definitely got to be his comfort programming.
