Honestly asking. Is 1,000 a large number when I read it takes 1,000 people 5 years to make a game like Red Dead Redemption?

- dogma1138 8y agoThe development teams even for AAA games are nowhere near 1000 people. The whole of Take Two Interactive is 4000 people Rockstar is just one subsidiary. Rockstar San Diego which developed RDR has about 150 employees.
- jason_slack 8y agoThis was a stat in "Indie Game: The Movie", IIRC at least.
- dogma1138 8y agoI have high doubts that a quarter of Take Two was involved in the development of RDR even if you count all the internal testers, marketing and non technical support staff.
