Same here, they make a big deal about the VR part not being part of the proposal, which shows a big misunderstanding of the grant writing and collaboration process. If the grant was a colla orative project, clearly both researchers would have read it, it might have just been the case that both had some funding and decided to work together on a broader project. I also find it interesting that the author thinks that a multimillion dollar facility being used for a student club to play VR games over it being used for research is a good thing and that it was somehow amoral by the professor to ask for that space

Re: The author's opinions on the VR club using that space. I got the impression from reading it that he honestly didn't care if the VR club lived or died - he event pointed out in the story that "I had managed to hear about the VR club's impending dissolution from some gossip around the computer science labs as well as other staff at the Center and I...didn't care about any of this" Additionally, he absolutely jumped at the opportunity to join the research project that would've used the space in order to get an internship and only ended up saving the VR club by accidentally mentioning something to a professor who had different impressions of how the research was supposed to work.
