    Using a screenshot of Stardew while quoting a developer saying it takes money and staff to finish a project is diabolical

      “It’s either a passion project you spent ten years on, or you need a bunch of money to be able to hire people and resources”

      From the article.

      Stardew Valley totally would have taken staff and money if you can’t live in your parent’s house forever. edit: I didn’t want it to sound mean towards Barone, it’s great what his family did for him, but this game was made possible with a very strong support net – a luxury not many have.

        No idea why you’re being downvoted, the guy who created Stardew literally had his wife take care of his whole life for him while he was working on it.
