That depends entirely on whether society prioritizes FIFA skills or in-person social skills, and I would be willing to bet that it's the latter.
That outlier aside, you raise a good point about language - I too learned my English mostly through videogames. Single-player, story-rich videogames, which hooked me enough to play them with a dictionary on hand. I learned most of my vocabulary trying to understand the games' lores and navigate dialogues.
