(...) Starfield hit just under 300 people on the team (...) [BGS] are like 430 right now, but we have a full team on Fallout 76, we have a mobile team, we still support Skyrim (...)
Bethesda Game Studios is tiny for an AAA team working on games of this scale. Maybe it's a hold over from the Private Equity days of having to be lean and profitable but now they're under Microsoft they should definitely staff up, especially when they're producing 10m+ IPs. Rockstar Games, I don't know how big their individual teams are but in total they have 5,939 employees and they only work on Red Dead Redemption and GTA. Think Cyberpunk's core team was bigger too. What other RPGs can we compare them to, Lol.
They should be like 600 minimum Imo.
