I wouldn't put it past people to make a good game for 50-100 people. Voip for radios with 200 people on it, just no
In terms of server capabilities and bandwidth, it's hosting (and optimizing) such a game that would be a difficult task. You wouldn't be able to host it on a Dell Latitude 433c, to put it that way. PUBG is a good example of this, but pushing the ~150 mark on a graphically detailed game might be tricky.
I play as Robert 'Scotch' MacMillan.
And Anton. Don't forget about Anton.

Probably enough to give all the staff members salaries equal to their current pay or to the point where it's liveable off it (like I sure as hell work two jobs right now). Plus any licensing fees. Although you'd probably see more updates and stuff. So alot.

and the question there is, if you are ready to pay all dev staff avg salary for doing CM, why not BYOND? Results would be instant

If I give you half of the sandwich I was planning on eating for lunch, will that be enough?
