Stardew doesn't bother me because the updates are free. As soon as there's more content for the game, I have it. If I feel like playing Stardew again, the new content is a reason to jump back in to playing it again.

However with Dead Cells, whenever I think about going back and playing it I think about all the new content that I haven't bought for it. It feels like my options are spend money for the current complete game, play an incomplete version, or just don't play it right now. I've been deciding on "don't play it right now" for years now.

My issue with Stardew Valley content updates is that they change how the game works. It is not just adding extra postgame missions or something. The content updates tend to fundamentally change how some things work. Your possible/preferred routes to reach endgame today are much different than they were in 2016. It makes it feel like perpetual Early Access.
