I guess it's that time of year when we pretend not to notice that the self-proclaimed "independent game awards" shows are nominating full slates of titles by developers with hundreds of employees and multi-million-dollar production budgets, eh?

is this subtweeting something other than indie game awards dot gg? I checked all ten goty nominations and only two have multiple hundreds of people in the credits (I wasn’t able to find good info on the exact number of studio employees, so number of credits was my approximation)
I should note that number of people in credits is often much higher than the developers employed directly on the project. Like, Animal Well, a nominally solo dev endeavor, has a whole 127 names in the credits between localization and playtesting
