Fifteen? Uh, yikes, that probably isn't good. I do hate how long compaines take to make games today but still.
It feels a bit alarming but the article says the teams are "very small." I'm not sure how small, but if it's like 50 people total spread out in 3-4 man teams, and assuming they aren't sinking money into physical workspaces, that isn't so bad. We just don't have enough information to really know what this means fiscally, I'm afraid.
