After 12 years, Stardew Valley creator swears ‘on the honor of my family name, I will never charge money for DLC or updates in my lifetime’

Stardew Valley Creator Eric “ConcernedApe” Baroni has promised that future updates to his favorite farming sim will be completely free — just like the previous ones.

Stardew Valley has been in development for 12 years, with Barone serving as the brilliant solo studio behind the popular indie gem. Since the game’s release in 2016, the solo developer has released numerous updates—some small, many very big. Each update, whether small or packed with new content, has never come in the form of “DLC” or cost players a dime—and Barone assures us that it will stay that way forever.
