They're successful, therefore bad.
I'm not really questioning the morality here. I was asking more because I didn't see what made it petty bourgeois instead of something else. I think I understand their point since the company's owners all actually work there, but I don't know all the details of their finances, and the detail of whether all the studio is owned by its founders/other devs, or by some investors, makes all the difference here. I don't know anything about game dev finances so I can't even really guess, maybe they just got started with some sort of grant or loan for all I know.
It was supposed to be a joke about how vulgar class analysis often boils down to "are they successful and making money or poor and struggling?" but it may not have come across that way and might be a bit hostile, but I wasn't trying to target anyone in this thread with this.
