The issue is not the hiring of staff. If it were then all that would need to happen would be the better employment of the developer hiring capabilities of the kingdom leaders. The issue is access to GK's source code, which you do not get even if you're hired as a developer and without which you can't do very much. You could say "Well then we need a new manager who will give people access to the source code" but really all that's required is a single (and fairly passive) policy change, which doesn't require changing the manager.

Of course, if you really want new content, the best way is to simply release most of the source code publicly. This is what happened (due to a server backup being illegally leaked) on 2K1. The result was a lot of new content being made (did this new content actually do anything to stop the server from dying? No it didn't.)
