Seems to say the exact opposite from what you are claiming?
The cozy-game genre specifically is a relatively recent category, even if there are plenty of older games that could fit into it.
It definitely isn't a term you would have seen back when Stardew Valley was released.
That's not how you should read this section of the article.
"On top of that" phrasing implies they are making a separate point.
It’s a 9 day old troll account. Just ignore them.
Do you expect lemmy users to be 5-10 yr old accounts like reddit xD. Let's be welcoming guys.
I’m not gonna welcome trolls.
Just to add support to your point, it's literally in The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook that the inspiration comes from Harvest Moon. He's not at all claiming to have invented anything. ConcernedApe is a humble treasure.
(I just finished reading the cookbook is why I pulled that information from there. I'm sure there's lots of other places where he said that.)
