[+] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works -15 points 8 months ago (4 children) Why kill a cash cow? Just keep updating and releasing for new platforms. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] canofcam@lemmy.world 79 points 8 months ago (1 child) 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 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] tempest@lemmy.ca 25 points 8 months ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 6 points 8 months ago Yeah it's definitely got to be his comfort programming. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ech@lemmy.ca 10 points 8 months ago "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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago Goddammit Todd permalink fedilink source parent [–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 point 8 months ago Cause Eric makes so much money off of every free update he releases lmao permalink fedilink source parent
