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.

Cause Eric makes so much money off of every free update he releases lmao
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.
