If the statement “gamers should get used to not owning their games” is true because of a specific release strategy (sub above sales), then the statement “developers must get used to not having jobs if they make a critically acclaimed game” (platform strategy above title sales) is also true, and that just isn’t sensible — even from a business perspective.

The Larian guy isn't saying the quote seriously. He's saying it's the natural conclusion of the Ubisoft strategy and that it's bad for everyone, so Ubisoft better change their strategy.
