Having worked on games in giant teams and small teams my own preference is actually on the smaller end. Ten people feels like a comfortable limit. I'm very much a generalist though and love contributing to all the different bits and pieces of a game. As such I generally find larger teams overly bureaucratic, slow to move and stifling. Solo dev requires a lot of mental fortitude because there is no one else to carry the momentum.
