2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Don't say Manor Lords was made by a 'solo developer,' argues competing city builder maker: 'The team size on it is maybe even larger than ours' (www.pcgamer.com)

Solo dev that hires a bunch of contractors?

That's like if I was saying I mow my lawn myself by paying a teenager to do it for me

I mow the lawn myself but I outsourced the design and manufacturing of my mower. Same with string trimmer and leaf blower. I also buy my gasoline instead of making it myself.

Yeah but in this case we don't seem to be talking about building the tools for the dev (lawnmower/gas), it seems like contractors were hired to develop things that are the final product (mowed lawn).
