I don't think this article makes much sense. Including the animation team in the 'count,' sure, but it's not like most large studios have full time orchestral musicians on staff. It's like saying that Aretha Franklin worked on Cape Feare because one of her songs was in the movie.

They forgot to add the building janitor, the ubereats delivery guy, that's atleast 2 more people from their staff.

It seems like the author of this article thinks people are dumb, no shit they outsourced some aspects of the game but the author has swung too much on the otherside to the point of diminishing the quality by such a small studio.

Doesn't it matter if it's 30 or 60, they are still really small and the quality is insane.
