Stardew Valley is itself either homage to or a ripoff of Harvest Moon, depending on your opinion.
We all stand on the shoulders of giants, almost nothing is really new, we've all seen it somewhere before. Everything is inspired by, iterated on, or grown from something else.
If clones weren't OK, we'd only have one company owning each genre of game. That'd be no fun at all.
