"Hardware,” to my surprise, has been a relatively small part of the company, with just 41 employees paid a gross of more than $17 million in 2021
That’s the only one I saw that meant anything that useful. They have ~10x that for games but no indication of number of people there.

Number of employees working on games is in the list at the bottom of the article. 181 as of 2021.

There's an entire table on there.

The total number is even in the first paragraph. Not the best summary I’ve ever seen.
