My guess is it's like a slur for "C-suites" aka the CEOs and CFOs and bean counters who want you to buy more games and only play them for a few days so you can spend money money on the next game.

The devs are happy if you enjoy their game but the businesmen are unhappy that you aren't spending more money.

If I am correct on this crazy interpretation then I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed.

That's it exactly. Sorry if it was not clear enough.

Though bean counter is usually a term for an accountant, who typically is not an “executive”. Or at least isn’t making driving decisions. They just like report the numbers.
