Eric Barone, the genius behind Stardew Valley, opened up about his unique take on collaborations—he doesn't take cash for these partnerships. His motivation? Pure love for gaming and making it better for fans. Recent collabs, like with Infinity Nikki and Terraria, show his commitment to fun rather than profit. With over 40 million copies sold, Barone is financially set and focused on passion projects. His next game, Haunted Chocolatier, promises a mix of candy-making and spooky fun, but fans will need to hang tight for the release date.
