The idea that the Manor Lords dev should 'just hire 50 people' to update it faster is 'fundamentally not the way things work,' says publisher (www.pcgamer.com)

Yeah, these projects done by one or two people could be better with a larger team, but it's definitely not a matter of hiring a big pile of people suddenly.

The ideal size is probably a couple dozen people, but scaling up to even that will take months since the one person currently in charge has to do a lot. And it'll almost fully pause work on the project for a while.

Cause if there's one person, they've got to find all the candidates, do all the hiring, then bring people up to speed.

The real problem is if the person who made it doesn't have the skills to manage even a small group of people.
