I think it does do him favors.
He isn't saying stuff them full of microtransactions and addictive behaviors.
Idealism can just as easily be not paying attention to any form of making money, which you know full well that lots of developers do, especially passionate game developers.
Have you ever tried to help someone make a game? Have you ever tried the finance side with them? When that CEO says some of them are fucking idiots he is absolutely right.

I mean, he is talking about the importance of tuning "compulsion loops", whatever those are supposed to be.
Sounds to me, he isn't advocating addictive behaviours because he's already taking that point for granted.
