The cost would be around two hundred thousand.
Wu Wei could not wait that long.
So they could only choose the second path—
Expand recruitment!
As soon as the news was released, the entire gaming community was energized!
"Looks like Platinum really is making a new game!"
"Old Thief is awesome! Platinum Studio is awesome!"
"I heard this recruitment drive will expand Platinum Studio to thirty people!"
"And there are so many positions involved! It looks like it'll be a polished indie game!"
"I'm kind of looking forward to it!"
"What a shame. If Dance of Ice and Fire had sold a little more, they might have been able to make a major game."
"You can't get fat in one bite. It's already rare enough for them to turn down invitations from so many major companies and independently design and produce games. At the very least, I'm willing to wait for Platinum to grow."
"Same here. It's a studio, after all. They have to take things one step at a time."
"As long as the game quality is guaranteed, I'm buying it the moment it comes out."
"I might not play it, but I can't not have it."
"Keep it up, Old Thief!"

His passion for games had earned the players' respect and support.
For a game designer, that was an immense honor.
Even though most players still cursed him as a bastard, an Old Thief, and all sorts of other things.
But the steadily growing sales of Dance of Ice and Fire, along with its countless perfect reviews, represented the players' genuine feelings.
A few weeks later, the recruitment expansion was complete.
The studio had grown to thirty people.
