It's crazy how successful they've been off just making and selling a good indie game. They're still doing free updates AND they can afford a $200k donation?
Terraria is like the anti-modern game. They absolutely refuse to evilly monetize their game at all. The playerbase is almost on their knees, begging them to move on from Terraria and make something else (not because Terraria is bad, but they've been at it for over a decade!) and they continue to churn out updates. The fanbase voted for a set of features to appear in Terraria 2, which they then turned around and scrapped, and added it as an update to Terraria. And all their updates are always free. And can't forget about their amazing mod support.
And redigit is just, like, the man.
dont worry, im sure update 1.4.5 will be the final final final final final final final update, and then they will move on.
Terraria update 2.0 expected release date 1E128 years
They'll stop updating the game whenever the Attack on Titan anime actually ends.
*whenever One Piece is found
Next stop, Fishman island!
...300 episodes later...
I love how they keep saying they will have a final update, and then they just keep updating it regardless. It's really impressive.
