It was a play on the Eric Andre meme, following Swen Vincke's comments recently and his speech at the game awards "We don't have shareholders, but we also don't think about them,". Which maybe got through to a few studios that have the ability to take back their independence, especially those under the likes of Embracer, who are currently haemorrhaging money.
