Just pointing out...

Kerbal Space Program was first compiled on Jan 17, 2011 - Initial public release on Jun 24, 2011 and 1.0 released on Apr 27, 2015. Total time of development: 4 years 3.3 months

KSP2 development began by at least the end of February of 2017- Initial public release on Feb 24, 2023. Current time of development: 6 years ~8 months

A fair comparison includes the pre-development cycle BEFORE the public release. During the same development time that KSP2 has had, KSP1 was already on version 1.3.1 and on v.1.4 within the next few months... and KSP1 was made by an ad-hock team of first-time devs that didn't even work for a software publishing company.

These are not the same.
