Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

The creator of Stardew Valley has said that he might make Stardew Valley 2, but he really enjoys just adding 'more stuff to Stardew Valley.'

I think we'd all enjoy a fresh take on SDV. There's probably a ton he'd like to change, but can't without having to rework the whole thing.

He did a fantastic job making the game what it is by adding slowly to the game, but it's certainly pretty disjointed and limited in a lot of ways.

"gamers" would have a cow if there was ever a sequel seriously discussed. He already charged them once, how dare he charge them again.

I suspect 10-20% of the community would take that stance, even if it's only a few%, it would absolutely be magnified by the echo chamber and there will be talk or how concerned ape left stardew valley "incomplete" and it's "abandon-ware"and all future products should be pirated.

Not sure where you’re coming from. Stardew Valley was completed years ago and the guy has actually kept releasing free content updates nobody even asked for. People are actually getting annoyed at him for continuing to update it since he’s supposed to be working on his next game.

Plus the updates keep breaking mods. Part of why I'm holding off on another playthrough is that I'm worried he's going to add one more update as soon as I finish a modlist and boot up

You could also just... not update.

I think you’re pretty safe. 1.6 just came out like a year ago. I think you will be good for a few years.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

There were smaller updates after 1.6 for months, all the way into December

ConcernedApe isn't EA. People love him and are happy to give him their money. I know many people that have Stardew on multiple platforms

That's me. PS4, Switch, PC and on phone.

You're so far off base it's hilarious. A Stardew Valley 2 would be hype as hell.
