I'm not a big fan of Extra Credits because it's the usual sort of idealistic armchair theorizing about how games should be designed for sustainability and player enjoyment coming from someone who hasn't actually worked with the constraints involved in building a game.
It's not like he's only preaching wistful, imaginative idealism. The things talked about can be achieved, though, as often stated, he never says it's going to be easy. I think you have a skewed impression of the show in general. You should also definitely take the time to watch the video upon arrival back at your dwelling place.
