Stardew Valley was a guy living in his parents house for four and a half years working full time. Googling says ConcernedApe spent about 10 hours a day, for 4.5 years, and let’s say he took a day off here and there, you’re looking at 10,000-15,000 man hours to deliver Stardew Valley. So that’d be around $500,000-1,000,000 (likely higher) if you had a team working on it, paying them all $100,000 a year, to get that many hours out of them. Making things on a team definitely makes things a lot more expensive!
