it's such a letdown when one realizes that universities are not this ideal utopia where everyone's a straight talker, where there is zero politics, where the people care about research and not the money it brings etc.

Must have been depressing for this guy to realize that universities nowadays are just massive hedge funds that sponsor football programs that are bigger than computer science departments.

Couldn't have said it better! They want to place stupid games? Then watch their relevance dissipate into nothingness. Science doesn't need the current research system in order to survive and thrive.
