Iron galaxy has 130 employees as of 2016.  We don't know how many people they used for the port but its that number + 9 Blizzard developers, so its well more than 10 unless Iron Galaxy had one person working on the game with blizzard.

Yeah, doubtful Iron Galaxy applied all 130 employees for this project. But let's say 20 or 30 worked on this port. Still a tenth of the original workforce, and made in lesser time too. My point that ports are extremely cheap compared to new games stands.

If you need 30 person and almost a year to just do the port (mind you that a lot of the original team would be doing assets, gameplay, story, testing, etc) show that it isn't really that easy to make a port, and that it consumes a lot of resources.
