That's a lot. Like a lot lot. Like a whole lot of a lot.

Though the way it's worded a lot of those people probably barely even touched the project. The core teams that worked on the game are definitely much smaller

Those are "Thanks", not "Credits".

Also I hope that member used some sort of tool to count that.

That seems like a LOT !

I mean there were 1000 people working on GTA V right ? Pretty much the same in the big Assassin Creed games. 3000 people seems like A LOT ! Is this accurate ?

We don't even know how much everyone contributed so that statement may not be that accurate. For all we know 1/5 of them could be production babies.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all those whose contributions both big and small, assisted in the journey along the way.

From R*, over 1000 people from R* studios worked on the game https://www.vgr.com/red-dead-redemption-2-over-1000-people-working/
Not confirmed, but they also used over 1000 actors to voice all the NPCs

How many had nothing to do with the game itself like legal, accounting, assistants and such?

Thats amazing, I wonder what the actual budget of the game came out to. Is this our first $300 million dollar game? GTA5 was like $265 million right?

I wonder if this includes those in the global south who also made the game possible? The so-called 'asset farms' and outsourcing studios that get super-exploited for maximum profits by rich white male executives at Rockstar/TakeTwo??

Rockstar has a studio in India, opened in 2016, so yes.

Does Rockstar even do outsourcing?
