Yes, they did, but there are measurements to go along with that.

Yeah, that'll happen. You can't make Elden Ring or Baldur's Gate 3 with that team size though.

    Not played those. You can make Factorio with that team size

    And how long it took that sized team to make Factorio?

    Oh right, 8.5 years, from the first concept prototype, to the official version 1.0 full release, according to the dev themselves: https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-360

    I think you actually just illustrated exactly OP's point with your exceptionally poor example here, Factorio is absolutely an outlier in every way, including how it literally started a whole new genre, which absolutely does NOT happen with the majority of video games ever developed.

    Ok, but if great games exist why should I care about the ones that are only good?

    If you haven't played Elden Ring or Baldur's Gate 3, I'd say that you haven't played two of the greatest games of all time. And I love me some Factorio.
