Stardew Valley DLC and Updates Forever Free, Promises Creator
Stardew Valley's creator, Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone, has made a significant commitment to his fans: all future updates and DLC will remain free. This article explores Barone's promise and its implications for the beloved farming simulator.
Stardew Valley: A Legacy of Free Updates and DLC
Barone's Unwavering Pledge
In a recent Twitter (X) post, Eric Barone reassured fans about the ongoing development of Stardew Valley's ports and updates, addressing concerns about the extended development time. He specifically mentioned his daily work on the mobile port and promised announcements when significant progress, such as a release date, is available.
A fan's comment about the importance of free additions prompted a powerful response from Barone: "I swear on the honor of my family name, I will never charge money for a DLC or update for as long as I live." This emphatic statement guarantees that all future content for Stardew Valley will be free.
Released in 2016, Stardew Valley has consistently received substantial updates enhancing gameplay and adding fresh content. The recent 1.6.9 update is a prime example, introducing three new festivals, multiple pet options, expanded home renovations, new outfits, late-game enhancements, and various quality-of-life improvements.
Barone's commitment might extend beyond Stardew Valley to his upcoming game, Haunted Chocolatier, although details on that project remain scarce.
Barone's pledge showcases his dedication to his community. His statement, including the challenge to "Screencap this and shame me if I ever violate this oath," underscores his commitment to providing ongoing, free enrichment to a game that's already seven years old. Fans can look forward to continued engagement with Stardew Valley without incurring additional costs.
