This isn’t about not praising teams who punch above their weight. It’s about being honest about what it DOES take to get games made.
You’re better than this.

It’s incredibly noticeable how often ‘and an army of outsourcers outside America and Western Europe’ is left out of these team sizes. That’s the part I find real uncomfortable.

Fwiw, I think it’s absolutely cool to talk simply about team size as ‘number of people my company directly employees’.. it’s when that becomes a key marketing point I get uncomfortable.
