The developer of the popular cozy farming simulation game Stardew Valley, Eric Barone, confirmed on Monday that players will never have to pay a dime for a game’s upcoming update or DLC, and everyone can enjoy the content free of cost.
While assuring a fan on X (formerly Twitter) about the game’s future updates and DLCs, Barone said, “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.” The Stardew Valley developer further joked and promised the community to “shame him” if he violated the oath by taking a screengrab of the tweet to immortalize his views on the game’s monetization system.
