I mean, I’d like to. Still, I’m not sure I’m buying this:
More than a decade ago, John C. Beck and Mitchell Wade, who now work at the consulting firm Accenture, surveyed 2,500 business professionals and concluded that people who played videogames as teenagers were better at business than people who didn’t. Their 2004 book “Got Game: How the Gamer Generation Is Reshaping Business Forever” found that videogame players were more likely to consider themselves experts, to want more pay for better performance and to see persistence as the secret to success.
Seeing as I’ve personally racked up an insane amount of time on, say, Skyrim – and I’m not exactly sure how the ability to crouch my way through a dungeon while pre-emptively shooting corpses that just look wrong will translate into a marketable skill. Although the mummified remains of an office complex would make for a heck of a dungeon. No, wait, that’s Fallout 4. So… yes, yes it does.
I suspect it’s the self-confidence and the problem-solving-through-trial-and-error that they’re looking at .. since that’s what they say they’re looking at.
.
That said, I don’t think they mean our demographic .. more like the Millenials.

I think it is more a correlation than a result.
Gamers are people who aren’t satisfied watching the …. on TV-so a more motivated and curious group.
