As I said, nobody has said anything about anything. The entire scenario is just rumor mongering and people gaslighting others simply so they can get a rise, spread false information, and just troll. It's best to not spread things but human beings will be human beings and people feel its their God given right to freedom of speech to spread nonsense.
Just my two cents.
Last public number was 131 in 2020.
After that I've yet to find any more numbers.
As with all things TW they arent really strong at communicating either way.
As for general assumptions typically after a game is launched to retail as this game is - the staff is then put into other projects or let go if there is no current project.
So it would be natural that there is a reduction in workforce.
There is also the economic situation in Turkey, I dont know how affected TW is by it, but with 66% inflation - its not that unlikely that they also may have been hit by it. Again no information communicated.
There have been post though by devs which can if we read between the lines and our assumptions is correct is that there is a "skeleton crew" on staff now, and thats why things have slowed down like the anticipated 1.30 - again nothing concret communicated and we havent been "confirmed" in our assumtions - but we havent been dismissed either when some have posted/challenge about this assumption(that may be due to companypolicy about not talking their internal structure etc)
However if you claim that its "false information" etc, thats all fine and dandy and you should be able to disprove the claims with facts though to squash the mongering if thats the case.
Like from public records etc
There is another site that gives information that the current employee count is 142 so thats 11 up from the previous public info from 2020.
But again i'm not sure on the site and its accuracy, but it seems to have other company information correct etc.
This number though isnt from the company itself.
Also just because the amount of ppl working at the studio dont mean that they are still working on Bannerlord, but could be working on Dlc or other projects etc.
In conclusion I dont think that they have given up on adding new content, but its most likely takeing longer time than we want, and the utter lack of communication is also not good, as it drives our expectations down or could lead us to abandon the game as such (so no one will buy the dlc's etc)(or less than desired since the overall Bannerlord experience havent been good enough)
So in lack of company communicating you will get speculation based on assumptions and conjecture(that the fancy word?)
