A man can dream… it's not likely to happen, but if one wins big bags of dinero playing the lottery, or saves the life of a rich man, what would an efficient way to set up a studio for game development?
I think the following would work, but if it's a bad plan tell me why. Keep in mind I've never been part of something like this:
1- Hire a general manager with experience so he can be in charge of the different departments.
2- Work with said manager finding and hiring a designer (who already has an idea for a game he has been dreaming about developing), some artists and a HR person who can also be in charge of social media.
3- Go to India with the team of General Manager, Artists & Designer (the social media person can do his or her job from the West, you don't need that person in India), and hire for cheap as many programers as you need. I understand in India cheap programers aren't bad programers.
4- Develop the game the Designer wanted, make it as good as you can, sell it however you can and let the quality be the fundation of your studio's reputation. After that, keep on keeping on and now and then make the team develop a vanity project you just wanna do. Like, I'd like to write the story, do the basic art and help designing levels on a Metroidvania game set in a nightmare world of magic with the gimmik being that I'd develop it as a Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis game, and then I'd dump the ROMs online because I can. I'd even use social media to encourage people to make their own repro cartridges, too.
Is this a good enough plan?

I'd pay the Indians a decent salary, it's just that Western emploees have too many rights, you can't demand 18 hours of work per day, and have drama.
Also, I understand what Indians would consider a decent salary is far less than what a West-friend would consider a decent salary. If they're happy over there in India with less money than Western programers, then everybody wins.

The ones you met in your locale were exceptional and made it to Western society.

If I won jackpot with the lottery I wouldn't just find a "video game company". I would find a "multi-media" company instead. Reason is that not everything we make are going to be used in complete video games. And with how long it takes and how much money it costs to produce them here in the US we have to make sure we can re-use our scraps for failed projects either for making ads or selling the programs to other computer engineering projects.
For starting from nothing: I don't believe in the Patreon model starting out. And crowdfinding is too toxic that it's better to have a finished product before peer review (to make sure you're not violating patents).
Now. That said. Video games need to get the fuck out of Silicon Valley. Real estate there is complete bullshit. Of course the question is will the midwest accecpt high risk software studios. I'm sure when they think of game studios they think of bitcoin mining hipsters now instead of Pepe-tier fat internet shitposting losers.

Contact info will be on the site in link by then. If serious about work then send resume, ONLY RESUME, via e-mail only. I'll think about it then. No portfolio samples in e-mail because copyright reasons. You can list your animation and let's play (marketing) Youtube channels. And you kinda have to link all social media accounts, skypes, disagreements, etc. because contracts will have NDAs with unreleased projects with third parties who are skeptical about the Lauren-Kate-Dales sleeping around getting leaks on everything.
