I mean no, but also... yes? Like having a one person dev team is a little ridiculous for a game selling as well as Manor Lords. 50 people is a lot, but do you really think the game would have less features a year from now if the dev hired like 3 people to help?
Obviously development would slow down in the short term, but a one person dev team is asking for disaster
Ideally the solo dev and visionary would cease development and move into a product owner role. Bringing other devs up to speed on the code base while also maintaining quality, vision, and cultivating a team is no trivial task. Not to mention this particular dev may not want or be able to such things.
Who cares, it made tens of millions. Not every project has to be pushed as fast as possible.
