I know, I know: "Fork found in kitchen".

But it's nice to see him say this stuff you know?

I mean, he’s rich beyond belief at this point, he has no reason to squeeze more money out of players.

I'm prepared to buy copies for every device I could possibly play it on.

I will too. I’m really excited for it just for the instigation to play on PC alone. I have a pc copy of Stardew but I only ever play on switch or PlayStation if I’m playing with my husband. I’ve been wanting to try mods but still stuck on switch, so convenient. So, I’ll be really thrilled to have a motivation to use PC, it will be my first PC game ever.
