Stardew Valley Author: There will be no charge for content updates and DLC. If you violate it, please take a screenshot and humiliate him.
Model for players: Stardew Valley Story author promises lifetime free updates
In the gaming industry, it is not uncommon to promise to think of players, but very few actually fulfill their promises. Concerned Ape, the author of Stardew Valley Story, has set a goal with his selfless dedication.
Back in 2016, ConcernedApe made a solemn promise that he would never charge for DLC or content updates to Stardew Valley as long as he was alive. He believes that players should pay for the quality of the game itself, not the ever-increasing additions.
This commitment has been widely praised and supported by players. People have expressed that it is this spirit of selfless dedication that makes them full of confidence and love for Stardew Valley Story.
Although ConcernedApe is nearly 50 years old, his creative enthusiasm remains unabated. He works on mobile end porting every day and regularly updates the PC version to bring new content and experiences to players.

ConcernedApe reiterated its vow in response to questions from fans, saying: "If I break my vow, please take a screenshot and shame me."
This promise is not just an empty word, but also a manifestation of ConcernedApe's responsibility to players. He made it clear that the Stardew Valley Story will not be broken, and subsequent updates will continue to be free, never letting up the expectations of players.

For players, ConcernedApe's promise is certainly exciting. They can safely wait for the console version 1.6 and PC 1.6.9 updates without worrying about charges.

The success of Stardew Valley Story is inseparable from ConcernedApe's selfless dedication. His spirit, for the sake of players, has also set an example for the game industry. I believe that in the future, more developers will use ConcernedApe as a model to jointly create a better game ecosystem.
