Video games definitely help develop overall computer literacy. The basic computer skills that are missing in folks who didn't grow up around computers are so foundational they might surprise you:
- Filesystem basics, aka "where does a file go when you save it, and how do you find it again?". Do you know how many people just save everything to the documents folder, and scroll through the list of every file they've ever accessed every time?
- Window management. I clicked on something, and now my document has disappeared. Help!
- Drag-and-drop. Particularly on a laptop with a trackpad, this requires a fuckton of coordination.
