TL;DR playing video games is easier than starting a real company so let's do that instead.

His analogy of participating in a "boss fight" is flawed since it sounds more like they just turned off the game system as soon as a hint of the boss monster's first tentacle even appeared on the screen.

I'd say it's more like they turned off the game after the opening cut scene. This doesn't really qualify as a fumblebrag because they didn't actually start.

They assume that funding was in the bag already, that the product would get built on time (or at all) and that even 1 person would sign up. Maybe they would, maybe they wouldn't.

They were right about one thing though, the timing was fortunate that it was squashed just a little past the idea stage.

Easier said than done with skin in the game. What would be their options facing that "Boss Fight"?
