I read this comment and my jaw nearly hit the top of my sneakers but it missed and hit the floor instead (stupid jaw), was it a parody or a blurry line when Latka Gravas dressed up like Elvis, was it a parody or a blurry line when George Bush had sex with that Segway, I don't know those answers but I do know answers about this article - it was quite obviously a parody.
"as if the satisfaction of making Unreal Tournament VII isn’t enough to “feed their families” or “send their child to college.”"
and:
"Working for a video game company is entrepreneurship in a way that I never explain in this article."
He's laying it on thick in the first paragraph. I know there are other articles that spout similarly idiotic ideas and mean them seriously, but I'm fairly certain that this is satire.
Edit: Actually, reading further, almost every single sentence is just dripping with sarcasm.

By "multi-paragraph amble", he means "whinge". He is having a whinge about people having a whinge.
I almost thought he was serious. But even if he was being serious, the reading was fun and informative.
