I think he has every right. Making Braid put him in debt so why shouldn't he bitch. 

Because Braid put him back at 0 in less than two weeks, then it made him so rich that he could work on The Witness for seven years without releasing any other games.

The whole thing is a PR move: "Pity me and buy my game." - That kind of stuff works on gamers, but that doesn't make it okay.

 

I don't think his financial state should dictate what he says about piracy. It doesn't matter if he's making money anyways, someone is taking something he spent seven years making without paying for it.

 

In fact, I think more devs should be vocal about piracy and let gamers know that it isn't alright.
