In a previous dev post the developers mentioned that the MANY seasonal events were taking development time away from the new season, which is why it took so long between updates. It’s also highly probable that this is the same reason season 4s content feels smaller. If we take all of the seasonal events from the last year + season 4s content it feels a lot more like previous seasons worth of content to me

It still doesn’t feel that great to me, but hopefully (if this is true) then we won’t need to worry about season 5s content being even smaller because the seasonal events are already coded into the game and won’t take as much resources.

Obviously this is conjecture and I’d need to get a developers corroboration before I parrot this as truth, but it’d a good enough explanation for my sake

Your math is a bit off. You need to consider sales, license fees, Steam/ Sony/Microsoft takes a cut, publisher takes a cut, hardware and software costs, backend, rent, insurance, utilities, food, marketing, and paying 30+ industry professionals for years. We also have the occasional party at the office.

We’re also investing in developers in our local area to bolster the game dev environment here + our new publishing branch and investing in the future. Most of our founders bike or commute to work, and live where they lived 6 years ago, so there are no gold plated Teslas pulling into the office yard. Also, we don’t have any parking spots at the office, so maybe that’s part of it.

u/GSG_Jacob Are you guys not expanding the team on purpose(policy for example) or because people don't apply for spots?(No hate, I am genuinely curious if you'd be willing to answer something such as this.)

Yes and no. We are expanding, but slowly. We need the right people, we need space for them, and we need to have the internal structure to manage the teams too. There are many reasons to not just put up new desks and fill the spot easily. Crew needs to be managed, and getting to a spot where you can do that also takes time.
