Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone has acknowledged the possibility of creating a sequel, though unsurprisingly isn't committing to one right now.

    Yea I understand from context but the wording seems bad

    The current one is similar to “if he cared about money, a sequel would not be guaranteed”

      No, it’s saying if he cared about money he would be more likely to make a sequel. Him caring about money would all but guarantee a sequel.

        I don’t get why “all but guaranteed” means guaranteed

        English isn’t my first language and the phrasing is so weird. Translating word by word seems to indicate something else

          You’re technically right: it means ‘everything up to’, so not a full guarantee but the next best thing. In usage it means ‘a guarantee in all but name’.

            Alright! Thanks for the explanation

            Literally translating it would mean the complete opposite in my main language so that’s why I was confused
