Oh those guys? Yeah those are just the dozens of professional voice actors we could afford to hire with our tiny baby game studio budget! And those guys? Yeah that's just our 7-person "engineering" team. What do you mean your entire studio is 4 people?
suck off me
(for the record I'm not dunking on Hades or Hades 2 as a game this is just something that pisses me (and I assume only me) off)
~20 people on fulltime payroll is still really small. 100 contractors for assets and voiceover and translation is normal. Put it's not like they're being paid a wage, just a contract rate for the work they do.
You aren't even considered a business in the US until you have 50 full time employees.
What? You're a small business with <50 workers, but there's plenty of petit bourgeois that own small businesses.
