At the expense of: No Stardew Valley 2.

Honestly, why would we need a Stardew Valley 2? There's so many harvest moon games but are they really anything more than small iterations? Not to mention those have been garbage since the IP was basically stolen from the original developers.

He's working on the haunted chocolatier while isn't a sequel looks like a great spiritual successor

Not Stardew Valley 2 but CA is making a new game about a chocolateer who has ghost friends

Fun fact, we basically had stellaris 2 for free

I feel like Stellaris is a measurably different game than release. I bought the game on steam like 10 years ago and while it looks largely the same, the mechanics have seemingly had complete makeovers or renovations every few years. As far as I can tell most of the modified mechanics have been introduced to the base game as well, so those without DLC aren't completely left out.

The game used to be some weird rock-paper-scissors game of either wormholes, gateways, and jump drives with corvette death columns. There was an optimal way to play and everything else was a handicap
