I mean, I’m not sure how well this particular case will prove that point. They are a publisher and they’ve (at least so far) insisted that they will rehire and honour existing contracts. I’m not an expert in the field but I don’t see this hugely impacting any upcoming games’ quality.

“We had to rehire our talented employees to continue making good games” would seemingly make the point very strongly that the workers bring value, not the owner?

They don’t make the games though.

Fair point, but it’s kicking the can down the road. Insert “…to continue publishing good games,” “…to continue doing good work,” “…to continue functioning” instead and the argument still works. But you’re right, they’re a publisher, not a developer, that’s my mistake.

If the workers don’t make the games, who do you think does?

The workers at the game studios that Annapurna works with, seeing as how they are a publisher not a developer.
