Stardew Valley Update Playfully Scolds Players for Cheating
- Stardew Valley's 1.6 update introduces a new cutscene that scolds players who use an exploit to access the endgame Summit area without earning it
- Developer Eric Barone is aware of the exploit but added the punishing cutscene rather than patching it
- The cutscene shows Mr. Qi berating the player for cheating and calling them "despicable" before the screen fades to black
- The player then wakes up in the hospital, having undergone "emergency surgery," and is charged 500g by Dr. Harvey
- The update has likely added other hidden surprises that punish players for trying to game/cheat the system
