According to their careers page, they have about 60 employees. And, knowing japanese game dev salaries, a lot of those devs (excluding senior devs) probably make around 30-50k a year depending on seniority unless it's a unicorn company.

Yeah...that changes the numbers. More like 10-20 years to do just about anything.

Somehow the urgency just drains right out of this for me.
