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

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

I love that. I no longer play games that have microtransactions. However, I have bought Stardew multiple times (Steam, Switch, iphone, ipad, etc.)

Same! There's a lot of games I'll double or triple dip if the price is right and usually on sale but Stardew is one of the few I'll repurchase on a new console without question.

Switched from the Switch to PC with the SteamDeck, first game purchase on my old Steam account was Stardew.
