Stardew Valley's creator thinks he will "always have a desire to come back and maybe add a thing or two", so we can probably expect to wait for Haunted Chocolatier for a while longer

Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone is obviously notorious for being unable to stop adding to Stardew Valley, but it sounds like he could do it even decades on.
I would not mind if these two games worked like Guild Wars 1 campaigns: you can play them separately as standalone games, but if you install both, they act as one game and you can play with the characters from one game in the maps with the other.
Reminds me of Maxis games, like Sim City 2000 and the Streets of Sim City.
Similar to how certain mods like RSV and the like behave?
Gamers are so fucking toxic that they will get enraged and call out a solo developer for saying they'll probably never fully abandon their beloved first game because that clearly means he won't work hard enough on making them their new game which they've literally never played before.
I've never come across an angry Stardew Valley player, tbh.
Everyone fan I've seen are all "Sounds good Eric! Take your time! Don't work too hard! Take care! (: " The author of the article sounds rude about it, though.
Yeah, I suspect it's the gaming "journalists" mostly in this case trying to stir up shit.
How bout y'all let him do whatever the fuck he wants and work on what he feels passionate about, it seems to have worked out well for us last time, and even if it doesn't this time, we're not entitled to shit from him.
To note, at one point in the interview he said it'd be funny to come back at the age of 90 and add an update. He's not saying SD will be his only focus until then, he's saying he will go back to it over time, presumably with different projects interspersed throughout.
I thinks it's more, "Hey, this thing I just put in HC would make a great addition to SDV."
