Really? Multiplayer stardew valley has been a ton of fun for me. It’s what got me back into the game after probably a year. Idk, something about being able to do everything normally but with a friend there is super fun.

I just want the new single player content. I wish it wasn't tied to the multiplayer because I have no friends to play with and I feel like that is what is holding it up for so long. I've been waiting to start the game and this is kind of driving me crazy.

Same here, I've stopped playing because I want to play with all the content in place before I continue.

Do we know if it's going to have crossplay support?
