    I wish he’d hurry up and get haunted chocolatier released. Im starting to feel like Im taking advantage of our relationship here, just getting update after update without paying him more.

      He made it on his own. 40 Million copies even at 10$ and with steam taking 30% is still 280,000,000$. I honestly don’t think you need to worry for ConcernedApe’s financial situation.

      LOL. We’re not talking about a “hurry up” kinda dude here. His development story is wild. It’s a miracle that he ever actually released Stardew.

        Just buy it for random people on your Steam friends list if you want to do that. There are still plenty of people who don’t own it (like me) and it might finally give them the push to play it.

      My solution for this feeling is to gift copies to others. I figure that worst case I support ConcernedApe and best case I help spark more Stardew joy.

      (Right now, I’m between jobs, so I can’t buy for you, other readers.)

        Who doesn’t already own a copy?

        He’s sold 41 Million Copies so far. It shares 19th place with the
        Modern Warfare reboot

          Tbh I can barely believe that Modern Warfare has sold anywhere near as many units as Stardew.

          Stardew is masterpiece, Modern Warfare is a video game.

          ~40M copies, ~8B ppl, so ownership rates are about 0.5%.

          You might meet one of the lucky 10k that learn about Stardew Valley today, and you can enable them with a gift purchase.
