ConcernedApe wants to collab with Fortnite, and is eager to get Pam into the game

Seems like this blew up into quite the controversy. Here's what actually happened:
I sometimes play Fortnite (zero build) with my team. We enjoy the game and think it's fun. One time, someone said "wouldn't it be funny if there was a Pam skin?". It became kind of a meme that we would bring up, imagining ourselves playing as a full squad (4 people) with identical Pam skins. Then someone messaged me asking if I would ever want to "collab" with Fortnite and I responded. That's the extent of what's happened (see comment below).

Believe it or not, the idea of making money (I don't even know if you would make money from such a thing), or making Stardew more popular was never a factor in this. I am also very protective of Stardew Valley and beyond the one Terraria reference, will likely never put any other IP's into the game.

As to the console and mobile updates, they are still in progress, they are still being worked on, and it is my #1 priority focus. I will of course make public announcements when there is meaningful new information to share.

Oh, yeah I could see how the "I've been trying to" part would seem that way. The extent that I've tried to make it happen was me mentioning the Pam skin at some of the Stardew concert tour stops, which I think many people took as a joke, and it partly was, but I was also thinking maybe we could "meme it into reality" or something. Also no worries about posting the article
