I don’t think it will ever fizzle out. It’s an amazing game with a simple premise.
I do worry that the desire to not let a game be done could lead to burnout from the audience though. I left minecraft behind because every update added less and less of substance, and asked me to come back and do something that didn’t really enhance the experience of my “completed” survival world.
I understand that minecraft has not slipped in popularity for the masses, but for me it’s enough of a pain that I don’t play any more.
Stardew Valley is great, and the updates we have received add a lot of content to the game, but it’s all stuff that makes an 11/10 game… still an 11/10. I would love the effort to go into Haunted Chocolatier, or other great projects.
Yeah, stardew will be remembered as a great game irregardless of its updates. Even if it was left at the release update people would still think of it the same way in my opinion. Look at how many people before stardew still went back and played early harvest moons to play them yearly.
In fact for me. I've not played it in a long time I think purely because I'd rather start a new game with all of the new content. But new content keeps coming out so I wait.
You make a good point. I haven’t gone back to minecraft because I know there’s going to be more changes made in the imminent future, and I’d rather play a complete game. I picked up Stardew about a month before the Ginger Island update, so it really felt like a complete experience.
Yeah i think that's why i don't go back to Minecraft either. Since when i payed regularly i remember new updates breaking world gen so you got these ugly walls when exploring new areas. I'm certain that doesn't happen any more but it also makes me not want to explore because when new places are added I'll have to explore even further if i explore a lot initially. So now I just don't bother.
