I think with Stardew Valley, you don’t necessarily “have to” …
Factorio feels way too much like work (as a developer) to me. I played it all weekend once and then when I had work on Monday I didn’t feel any weekend relief that I expected.
That is exactly how I feel with Factorio. With Stawdew Valley, you essentially hit a wall if you aren’t willing to grind out some specific things (fishing for instance). It’s not the end of the world and I got enough enjoyment out of it to not consider it a waste of money, but I haven’t been able to check out any of the last few recent content updates because most of it was on the other side of the “wall”.
