"I have a growing distaste for anyone I perceive as a whiner, which is more than enough fuel for this multi-paragraph amble through my mind"

By "multi-paragraph amble", he means "whinge". He is having a whinge about people having a whinge.

As far as I can tell, "whinge" is a Britishism. You don't normally hear that in the US.

I had fun reading this. How dare game programmers complain about their privileged positions in the entertainment and tech industries?

I almost thought he was serious. But even if he was being serious, the reading was fun and informative.

Is this parody? The lines blur nowadays.

I have heard it is a send up of this: http://venturebeat.com/2016/04/16/game-developers-must-avoid...

Though I have not read the piece it supposedly satirizes.

It's a parody. The articles even start the same way:

I read this article by Dean Takahashi the other day, and my jaw nearly hit the floor...

I just read both, it is a parody

Bits like this suggest that it is satire:

"as if the satisfaction of making Unreal Tournament VII isn’t enough to “feed their families” or “send their child to college.”" and: "Working for a video game company is entrepreneurship in a way that I never explain in this article."

He's laying it on thick in the first paragraph. I know there are other articles that spout similarly idiotic ideas and mean them seriously, but I'm fairly certain that this is satire.

Edit: Actually, reading further, almost every single sentence is just dripping with sarcasm.

I read this comment and my jaw nearly hit the top of my sneakers but it missed and hit the floor instead (stupid jaw), was it a parody or a blurry line when Latka Gravas dressed up like Elvis, was it a parody or a blurry line when George Bush had sex with that Segway, I don't know those answers but I do know answers about this article - it was quite obviously a parody.
