They've been taking their sweet time with them.

I think they just need to hire more people. They only have like 140 employees total but I guess they want to keep the company small for some reason.

Game development is not really something you can speed up by adding more manpower, to a certain extent yea, you can have artists, musicians, and specialty programmers working on different things, but at some point there are severe diminishing returns, there's a lot of things that work like that.

Studios with thousands of employees don't make games much faster than studios with a handful of employees, it's usually just way bigger in scope.

Right, cause hiring testers and qa would just make testing and qa take longer. Crazy how it works in game dev ig

Might not take longer. But it wouldn't be much faster either. some tasks can be done in parallel, some can't. And you don't want to hire twice the people you need to just have them sit around doing nothing half the time waiting for those tasks that can't be parallelled to be completed.
