I love that game, I got it on my PC and handheld. I believe he is still supporting it with updates (Content updates too, not only fixes). I think there's quite a few amateur video documentaries about how it was a super-iterative process - the first sprites in the game looked janky and simplistic, and everything - the gameplay, music and art got better over time. I find it really inspiring.

I want to have a project like that someday too.

I have gotten so much value out of that one game over the years. if he decided to just cut a new expansion pack of new content for an extra fee, I'd happily drop money for it

He made like half a billion out of that. Why would he invite somebody else and/or have a rush in life?

I always love when Bobby Lee is excitedly showing Eric his farm, a bug happens and you can see Eric's eyes go wide.
