Photoshop isn't a great example, but my point was to reference large software packages that are naturally so complex as to require far more resources than a small company can muster. I can think of at least a dozen major packages that are made by a very large company or major open source project because that's how much labor it requires for the features people expect, and people by-and-large are not clamoring for feature or complexity reduction across the industry.
Sure, less comprehensive games than the most extensive MMOs exist. You could use a stripped down browser that doesn't implement every feature, too. <my question was, could a team of 10 people make games as extensive as the most extensive games like GTA5 or TESO from their own labor? That isn't possible nor would I expect it. I don't expect a small open source project to release something as polished as iOS next year, either. Given the potential security issues of any network software, I also don't want to use a browser made by a small team.
