Well deserved.

Good it's a wonderful game.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

Worth it. There has been so many updates that could have been DLC but were given away as free patches.

41 million since it's innitial launch years ago? Or 41 million in 2024?

[–] neme@lemm.ee 25 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Around 10 million in 2024

So, this game launched I think in 2018? And you're saying 1/4th of its all time sales happened in 2024. It would be interesting to see if there is a line progressively going up, or if it has a sudden spike all the sudden. I'm wondering if one of the popular twitch guys JUST started playing this.

Also, I know it's impossible, but I wonder how many of those sales are people who bought it on PC, and again on switch, and again on PS5, and again on GBA.

......what? I assume a GBA port is possible. Might have to write new code to change online play to link cable multiplayer.

Although as I type this I remember that the whole game was made by ONE GUY. So maybe it's "possible", but not nearly high enough on the priorities list of one guy to ever happen.

Still though......you KNOW you want to dig out your beat up childhood GBA, and play some stardew!

I bought it on ps5 and mobile this year. It was the first game I bought on switch, but the first time I bought it was for a pc I no longer have lol. I'm more than happy to buy it again, with all the free updates he's put out.

Here to add a third "I bought this on two new platforms this year after buying it for PC years ago."

Gotta remember that mobile probably also picked up this year.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I'm contemplating getting it for PC as I originally got it on switch

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

I bought it on at least three platforms.

[–] Brosplosion@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Probably the big driver was the release of the new update 1.6 that added a TON of new content to the game

[–] reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Looks like all time
