Not to mention that his entire thesis ("scrolling is the true problem!1! OMG!") is unsupported and rather dubious...
All those other things he mentions are also problems, despite his proclamation to the contrary.
Even if he somehow has managed to "fix" the scrolling "problem" (and judging from the comments on this story, he hasn't even come close), reading stuff on on a computer will still be mostly the same (for better or for worse) experience.
I know several people working quite happily at gaming companies (doing, from what I can see, some pretty cool stuff), and those game companies who are the most abusive generally have well-known reputations as such.
I suppose it might not be the best industry to go into straight out of college, when you have little leverage and lack industry smarts...
