"DE isn't a very big company" lol

It's not 2013 anymore... They have 200+ which puts them firmly into AAA territory, especially when you factor in the China bucks from their overlord.

Team Cherry is a dev house that is "not very big" of 3-4 people, and they made Hollow Knight with essentially 2 core people, one of the greatest metroidvania's ever made. That is doing a lot with very little, something DE once knew how to do very well, but their ambition died when the game really took off 3 years ago.

DE keeps getting bigger, but their ambitions keep getting smaller... They could have 2000 employees and they'd still be putting out mobile game-esque grind/time-gate horse shit. Their problems are one of no creative/artistic direction focused on good gameplay, not one of too little money or man-power. They have much more than they deserve of both
