According to[0] they're currently around 200 employees and the founding team includes former CEO of DICE (+ex-EA) & other experienced industry people.
They're funded in the large tens of millions range: https://www.pcgamesinsider.biz/news/69461/nexon-increases-stake-in-sderlunds-embark-studios-to-728/ https://www.pcgamesinsider.biz/news/69461/nexon-increases-st...
So, basically, they're a bunch of experienced game industry veterans funded with a bunch of money & a clean slate to choose their technologies--and have made Rust as one of their prime choices. (Although I note they're using Unreal for their 1st game, so not sure how much of the Unreal-related dev they'll be doing in Rust.)
> doing 3-4 different things (aside from games) to get by.
Curious what gave you that impression?
