I disagree with you guys on at least 3 points.
1. Quality of this game is no better than hundreds games of 5-10 years ago
2. The manpower “these days”, especially the last year on this game is definitely not far greater than in the past. The first couple of years of this games development probably took more than ten times the manpower is does now.
3. Comparing this game to a game that can be completed in a couple hours is ridiculous, for a true comparison look at games that last for years, mostly online games. Unfortunately mobile gaming has typically had very low longevity, most games don’t even last 2 years.
