English is not my first language so I don't really understand the last sentence in your post ("egging", specifically).

But what this company did was fraud in my view. He should be fined or put in jail. So should any people who sent them death threats.

The phrase "egg on" just means "encourage".

Then that phrase makes no sense to me. Wouldn't it be the same as saying something like "we can't critize Donald Trump for his criminal actions because doing that just encourages people sending him death threats".

I think that is exactly what he meant to answer yes, that criticizing the game or the dev's behaviors (with actual valid complaints) was wrong, because some people who did that also did bad things.

I, too, am bewildered by that line of thinking.

That is the implication, yes.
