It's a catering company, they are going to drive down to 7/11 and pick up enough random people milling around out front. If they're lucky they will get minimum wage, but at least it will all be cash.

Yeah, I know in this scenario there are ways around - though I'm pretty sure hiring random people on the street is how Project Mayhem succeeded. I was trying to use that as an example for the logistics - if you come to me and ask me "I want a AAA video game" I'm not going go to be able to do that for you as I don't have the resources available.

With an astronomical-enough price, you can afford to hire 10,000 random people, put them all through a college game-development program, and then train the 1% of them that turn out to be good at that particular job into competent game developers. Or maybe use the money as capital to acquire a game studio.
