Because they’re… completely and utterly different in every way except for both involving photons?

  Oh that makes sense. I assumed the comment was lumping those two games together and implying they wouldn't have a positive impact. My mistake. But they may! In both games you have to conceptualize the world around you. Both games are abstractions over real life problems. In both you need to create your own mental abstractions and think about the world around you in a simplified form and react. Obviously one is "fast thinking" and one is "slow thinking" but both skills are important. Even in games like CoD you do some slow thinking to devise a strategy for certain events you'll encounter. Then you need to quickly recognize those events and react in the way you planned on. A common thing in CoD is that two enemies might pop out, how do you deal with it? Maybe try to focus on the closer one first, or the one that seems more likely to have seen you. You need to think about how you'll handle situations in advance. It sounds simple but left to my own devices I tend to shoot in between the two of them (and then get killed). And there's 100 other situations like that. You encounter them, die, and think about how you could have handled it better.
