Stardew Valley will collaborate with Infinity Nikki. Eric Barone does not receive payment for crossover collaborations and only authorizes them because he is a fan of the other games or believes players will enjoy them. Fans urged him to profit more, but he has made enough from game sales. Past collaborations have mainly been one-sided, with Stardew Valley content appearing in other games; the Terraria crossover was the exception where both games exchanged content and Barone praised Terraria. Stardew Valley has sold over 40 million copies. Barone and Stardew Valley gain increased exposure from collaborations. Barone is developing Haunted Chocolatier with no release date.
Stardew Valley was recently in the news for its upcoming collaboration with Infinity Nikki. Some might assume Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone will enjoy a nice windfall from this, but the developer has clarified that he doesn't get paid for these kinds of crossovers and collaborations--and that's on purpose. Posting on social media ( via PC Gamer), Barone said, "To be clear, I never receive any money from these collabs. I've only done them because I was a fan of the other games, or because I genuinely thought the players would like it."
All of Stardew Valley's past collaborations have been one-sided, with Stardew Valley content showing up in other games, like Balatro. The one exception was the Stardew Valley crossover with Terraria, for which both games received collaborative content with each other. Of this partnership, Barone said, "It was great. I love Terraria." Stardew Valley has sold more than 40 million copies.
