  • Twitter started with a 140 character limit as that was what SMS messages originally were limited to (and still are, but phones can send and combine them seamlessly), as that was the original way to access it. It has since been updated to 240 characters iirc, but the idea still is that it’s a microblog where readers don’t have to read novels worth from each of the people they follow, and for longer content you write it on your own blog and link to it. But in the age of social media, hardly anyone has one anymore and you end up with this.





  • Usually they don’t. Something like Horizon Forbidden West credits almost 3500 people even though Guerilla Game has less than 500 employees, most of the rest is absolutely massive bloat from different outsourced teams and Sony departments - like the “Head of Opportunity Markets Business Operations Tim Stokes from Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.: Global Business Operations” was undoubtedly very important for the development of the game.

    As for Baldurs Gate 3, Larian Studios currently has 450 employees in 6 different locations, so they are actually around the same size as Guerilla. I wouldn’t be surprised if the credits end up being well above a thousand people (D:OS2 has around 500 credits even though Larian back then had only 130 people).
