He used one life sample size from a Japanese local shop to determine there was a universal law in all games at the age of 6? Simpleminded genius?

Video seems a bit contrived tbh. (Not doubting he made 33 million trade profit tho.)

I hit StarCraft Grandmaster and Top 100 of the DotA ladder. That's pretty much as good as it gets for someone who doesn't play video games for a living.

Well I was no grandmaster but I went close to 500-0 in starcraft using a protoss reaver rush back in 97.

Gaming makes you smart! Also, it;s a good way to manage stress and improve mental agility, which helps in making quick decisions in a fast-paced environment.

Also a waste of time in my opinion

I agree. Playing games always helps me relax after a long working day. Even watching CS matches via https://profilerr.net/cs-go/matches distracts me from problems. I also find it to be a good hobby. Moreover, some people make good money playing games, especially those who take part in tournaments.
