Terraria Creator Says It's Hard To Move On From Because It "Sells Like Hot Cakes"

Terraria's creator, Andrew Spinks, has admitted that he finds it hard to move on from updating the game (which infamously has seen several "last updates") because it still "sells like hot cakes".

Considering how beloved the game is, no one is exactly sad to see that happen, but it turns out that massive amount of success is exactly what's keeping it from ending.

As reported by PCGamesN, Terraria's creator, Andrew Spinks, took to Twitter to discuss some of the features of the latest update, version 1.4.5, which dropped just a few days ago. One Terraria fan asked if the developers are done with adding new things to the game, prompting Spinks to say that the team is currently just polishing what it has before it thinks about adding anything new.

This prompted another Twitter user to cheekily respond by saying that there are still "100 more last updates to come", which caused Spinks to say, "I don't even know anymore". Spinks was then asked about how well Terraria is doing and if the updates are bringing in more sales, which caused him to open up about the game's continued success and why that makes it hard to move on from.

Spinks said, "After 12 years the game still sells like hot cakes. There is so much demand it makes it hard to move on". To emphasise this, Spinks then retweeted a post from Twitter user chippygamingyt that points out that Terraria's sales rose from 30 million to 44.5 million between April 2020 and April 2022, which averages out to about
