That's literally true of ALL action against the company, though… The devs don't have power to magically pay themselves more when the company sees a windfall. The execs do.
Saying, "this will hurt the devs" when attacking the company is worse than useless rhetoric that's simply wrong. It is NOT TRUE because it is not a unique attribute of this situation… They get fucked 24/7. Saying they'll get fucked more is basic fear mongering tripe.
These "protests" do nothing against the execs and their Ferraris.
They directly harm the developers though.

This isn't attacking the company though. It's attacking a single game and the company/publisher will just roll on through.
