I don't think that jcl will hire anyone even if that will be possible from budget side. GS stucked in old A6 times (all of editors, templates, models, textures, etc), and it can't come up to date by itself. All neat things are made by users, not by jcl. But it seems that he tries to get something new and up to date f.e. HDR, new WED (hopefully it will be better then GED), OpenAL, PhysX (implementation of which I don't really like). But still, GS is outdated, if not it's easy to use and learn Lite-C, a lot of users would already leave it, and there wont be new people buying it and starting with it.
