These "200 people" were counted from credits which list pretty much everyone who even sniffed at the general direction of the studio's direction. The studio itself is ~30 people (just went and check on their website, they have a team list with photos for everyone). The rest are contractors whose contributions usually vary wildly. Besides, credits are free so unless the the company are petty (see Rockstar not crediting people on their games if they leave before the game is released even if they worked on it for years) people err on the site on crediting everyone. Personally i've been credited on a game that used a library i wrote once and i learned about it years after the release.

Most importantly those who mention that the game was made by 30 people do it to compare it with other much larger teams with hundreds if not thousands of people and those teams use contractors too!
