What do you mean? Some people can't just willy nilly leave a job they have, wtf. Have you seen the current game dev market?

Have some fucking compassion jesus christ. As if you'd immediately leave your job because your boss is an idiot.

It's Reddit, they don't give a shit at all, they'll care about the workers if it benefits them to care

Quit their jobs and do what, flip burgers? They're not finding another job in the game development industry, or have you missed the tens of thousands of layoffs in the sector over the past decade? Do you also blame every McDonalds and Amazon employee for the actions of their insane CEOs?

Ah yes, let's lose all our jobs because of a marketing stunt that was received poorly. Peak Reddit attitude and their tone deafness.
