Some cheaters use special software to gain an in-game advantage over other players, while others do it simply for fun. Stardew Valley was no exception, as cheating found its place here as well.
Recently, ConcernedApe released major update 1.6 for Stardew Valley. As it turns out, the developer decided to play a little prank on cheaters and punish those who dare to reach a location earlier than originally intended.
The thing is, in Stardew Valley you can access the location The Summit via a workaround. Under normal conditions, a player must first achieve 100% Perfection (reaching this milestone unlocks extra content).
Prior to version 1.6, players in Stardew Valley could freely sneak into The Summit with no consequences whatsoever. However, with the release of the update, cheating farmers were in for a surprise.
Now, upon the first “illegal” entry, the Stardew Valley player is greeted with a cutscene featuring the character Mr. Qi, who will scold the trespasser.
