So what’s your point? There is nothing to be learned in video games?

Running guilds — Leadership and organization, introduction to petty politics.

Crafting — economics. Supply and demand. Quality vs quantity.

First person shooters — Spatial recognition, velocity and vector determination.

Not to mention all the militaresque skills that the kids will pick up.

It’s the accumulation of skills.

Only a childish idiot thinks video games teaches something. Adults living in the real world know better. We play video games, too, but live in realville. Same idiot mentality that thinks paintball teaches combat skills.

Not to mention that video game expertise is very nearly the most effective way to train to pilot drones.
