The team is 25 people? Yeah that doesn't strike as porting GTA6.... strikes me more as Nintendo online ports of legacy titles. Which is cool. Gamecube has a lot of gems.

I'm not an expert on any of this stuff but this team of 25 managed to release a Switch port of Hogwarts Legacy port and a MK 1 port last year. If I am not mistaken, most ports teams are 20 people at most (but I don't know how that figure has changed with more recent generations and technologies). Obviously GTA6 is a very large scale game, so it might need some more resources to its port. But I can't see it reaching 100 active staff porting it.

That is pretty damn impressive.  Seems like a good purchase.
