You’re both right in a way, in that you’re able to reason about the word from usage and context but it’s a separate meaning entirely, #5 below
From Oxford Dictionary of English
verb (bags, bagging, bagged) [with object]
1 put (something) in a bag: customers bagged their own groceries | we bagged up the apples | once you've raked the leaves, bag them up right away so that they don't get wet.
2 succeed in killing or catching (an animal): Mike bagged nineteen cod. • succeed in securing (something): we've bagged three awards for excellence | get there early to bag a seat in the front row.
3 [no object] (of clothes, especially trousers) form loose bulges due to wear: these trousers never bag at the knee.
4 North American English informal fit (a patient) with an oxygen mask or other respiratory aid.
5 (bags or bags I) British English informal a child's expression used to make a claim to something: bags his jacket.
6 North American English informal abandon or give up on: she ought to just bag this marriage and get on with her life.
7 informal, mainly Australian and New Zealand English criticize: the fans should be backing him not bagging him.
Number 5, bagsying, is subtly different. It's a claim to something, like dibs in the US.
No, both the GP and I are referring to number two, gaining something and literally or figuratively putting it in a bag. It applies equally to game and SaaS revenue and everything in between.
I listed that definition also, to differentiate it from the one regarding the mountains.
