Stardew Valley has sold tens of millions of copies, and the developer only got a publisher to help him get his game ready to go on Steam, so I’m guessing he kept the lions share of those sales. He’s now wealthy enough for us to start hating him on general principle. He’s going to be fine whether he releases another game or not.

I hope he takes his time and enjoys the process. He seems like a very nice, humble guy who only ever wanted to make a game that people would like, and a decade after his breakout success he has yet to be milkshake ducked even a little. Time will tell if having a nine-digit net worth will make him a bad person, but so far so good. I say let him cook.
