This sounds ridiculous on it’s face.
But anyone with experience playing RTS games should realize with only a few moments thought, those players are perfect for the job.
Gamers are also great at building 3D models for engineering/ construction projects… the issue (as with so many of these fast moving tech topics) is that the decision makers are all, for want of a less perjorative term, boomers or older GenX
I don’t think it’s bad per se. I played video games pretty much all my life, and i’m sure that’s the reason why my reflexes and hand eye coordination ia really good. Or why i can just operate a crane or other machinery without prior training or instructions.
BUT, when they say they want gamers, they probably think about starcraft pros, and not people who play nothing but siege and are hardstuck in bronze.
They’d be perfect for the job if they actually wanted to work. But they probably don’t want to work. They want to continue sitting at home in their underwear playing video games. They may have the skills, but not the work ethic.
It’s not 1990 anymore. Almost everyone is a gamer these days.
It’s a bigger industry than the global movie box office.
You have no idea how much work goes into being really good at a game.

Wow, could you be more of a boomer stereotype?
If they called out D&D as satanic

That’s why I’ll never be any good at any game.
My ADHD won’t allow me to.
