MODERATORS
From a technical standpoint, sure.
But there's a large amount of conversations that happens with Studios and Artists to make sure that the fees are negotiated properly. Sometimes large partners have a singular manager for their coverage. That could always balloon the org size.
Yeah, I can see how half of their workforce (which was apparently 120 people, I can't read) could be just people who negotiate the deals and such. Best of luck to everyone.
