Most of your people will essentially have zero communication with each other
does the texture artist really need to communicate with the advertising co-ordinator?
Not everyone needs to talk to everyone. But many people need to talk to many people.
Microsoft had to abandon the initial Vista project and start over because they couldn't manage a team of 1000 developers. People working on adjacent features had to go through so many layers of management that in some cases the closest shared manager was Bill Gates. For something like getting a change in the shutdown code reflected in the shutdown dialog.
Huge teams become exponentially harder to manage efficiently.

I mean, with the general state of AAA gaming these days I have to assume they don't. Have you seen some of the shit that's been coming out?

Used to work at Rebellion on their IT team. Genuinely a fantastic place to work and the owners seemed to always be super chill. Had a full suit of armour in one of their offices and so many weapons lying around (likely blunt replicas but still really cool).
I wasn't on the game dev team so can't speak for them but I was personally never pushed to work harder and often explicitly told to take breaks.
We also used to have large Unreal Tournament matches at lunch.

By crushing the spirit and exploiting the hell out of passionate workers.
And hire an Outsource Manager so you can farm out most grunt work to underpaid devs in other countries.

Who then proceed to get abused mentally and physically bad sociopathic managers.
