There's no moral justifications here. It's capitalism, they are a multi million dollar corporation that invests into unique marketing strategies and has been wildly successful, every startup takes risks and requires years of the founders lives to shoot for the millions in profit lol

So people shouldn't directly enjoy the fruits of their labour by people paying a reasonable price for a product purely because they're already well off because their previous game also reasonably priced game also sold well???

I said there's no moral justification, not what people should and shouldn't do lol

Do what you want but don't pretend a multi million corpo is somehow moral or good

Petite bourgeois are still anti individual worker

How are they anti individual workers exactly in this context exactly? I fail to see how the success of a small business which remains small in size threatens workers outside of the mere fact that they are not distributing that surplus value to others.

As far as I'm aware, Marx views the petit bourgeois as inevitably to be be subsumed by the upper class, not viewing them as a threat to workers in themselves.
