You guys don't understand how critical leather seats are to writing code...

Maybe since they were already doing this since they went commercial, they just decided to formalize it instead of removing it (because there would be huge backlash if they removed it ). It's still exactly the same thing they've been doing all along. Especially if the game gets released, it's a very nice thing to do for talented people who want to get into the game industry. If your work is already in a game you have that much more advantage over the competition.
No need to read so much into it you pessimists.
