=====================

UPDATE: Since SV is on sale right now and the post got more attention than I thought it would get (the one 2 years ago got 50 total upvotes lol), I decided to up the count of SV to give away to 3 🙂

I also decided to give one out of the three copies to a comment I personally pick.

So to recap:

  • 1 SV Steam key each will be sent to the first and second randomly picked winner

  • 1 SV Steam key will be given to the poster of a comment I personally pick

=====================

Hello Friends,

every year I give away a key for Stardew Valley. This is the 6th time I’m doing this. Why? Because it’s an awesome game! Two years ago i did the giveaway on the Stardew Valley community here on lemmy.

To enter, just drop a top-level comment (not a comment on someone else’s comment) under this post with a reason why you didn’t play Stardew Valley yet. It can be a made up reason.

Your lemmy account must be older than 3 days to qualify.

From all comments that qualify, one two will be chosen randomly and one will be picked by me on Tuesday the 8th of July at 20:00 (8pm) CET.

Good luck 👍

    Not sure why I haven’t played it, does anyone know if it has co-op across platforms? Like if I install it on a linux distro will I be able to join a spouse who is playing on her Xbox or Windows?

    My spouse says I never played because the aliens invaded and subsequently abducted me.

      There is cross-platform play between PC (including Linux and Mac) and mobile devices (iOS and Android). For other platforms like Nintendo Switch and Xbox, crossplay is not available, meaning you can only play with others on the same console

      You should be able to play co-op across PCs regardless of OS but console versions are not cross compatible.

        Thanks for this info, I installed Medieval Dynasty the other day trying to play co-op with her. Unfortunately couldn’t join, I assume because I didn’t have a legitimate version. Hers was paid for but I had just torrented mine in attempt to play locally. Was hoping I didn’t have to pay for a game twice to play together .

          I’ve played it on Linux Mint while some friends were on Windows, didn’t have any issues :)

      Give it to this guy. It’s a great reason.

      …

      But if you don’t, I wouldn’t mind giving it a try for a few (read: 200) hours 😛

    Always looked like dollar-store harvest moon to me. I’d give it a go now that I’ve got some free time.

      Harvest Moon is Temu Stardew Valley. I know Harvest Moon came first. Stardew Valley does literally everything better than Harvest Moon

    Last game I bought was 5 bucks, and I’m still skeptical whenever it was a good investment cuz money is hard It was Oneshot, and I loved it

    Not sure if I’d even like Stardew Valley

      There are mods that can make the experience way better. For me the “save anytime” is one of the most important game play improvement.

    My SO didn’t play games until his late 30s because be started working as a teen. I introduced him to BOTW and then Minecraft and Portal. Do you think SV would be a good next game?

    Bought it on Android with rewards funds to share it with wife, so she would stop using the goddamn Duolingo and the stupid game it pushes as an advert. But hey, wouldn’t mind trying it on PC in multiplayer with her I guess

    But, the real question is… when ya gonna haunt them chocolates ape!!!

      Great question. I like to think the longer he spends on making the game the better it will be once its released

    I really want to play it but steam sells the games in my country in USD, not my countrys currency and this makes it expensive and painful to buy. Not only stardew valley, almost any games

    I guess the pandemic wasn’t long enough to get all the way through my backlog. I’ve been slowly making my way through even now. I’ve been told it’s a travesty that I haven’t played yet.
