    So, he gets a scholarship for gaming instead of basketball or football.

    And he will probably have a better career writing code than playing ball.

    FWIW, I remember seeing some show on tv about training modern fighter pilots. And the instructor (military) commented that kids that grew up playing video games had a lot less trouble acclimating themselves to the intricate controls of weapons & piloting than others; mainly because the basic difference was that one was a game, but the other was reality. The skills developed and needed for the fighter were honed by the games prior to actual flight instruction.
