Teamwork skills learned playing video games

[StaceyPowers]

I recently started watching Stranger Things, and I love how the teamwork skills the characters developed playing D&D help them to work together in real life. It made me reminisce about how I learned a lot of teamwork skills playing MUDs, probably more than I picked up on doing group projects in school.

Playing MUDs helped me learn some basic etiquette that helps facilitate teamwork (apparently I didn’t learn that stuff as a kid), and also helped me feel more comfortable in leadership roles. Both have served me well in business IRL.

For those here who play MMOs, FPS games, co-op games and so forth, have you learned valuable teamwork skills doing so? What specific skills, and how have you applied them IRL?

Sharing loot, if your buddy is missing ammo or health is always good to share

I used to play allot of Destiny and Raids require allot of teamwork and co-ordination.

 

P.S  Stranger Things Does kick ass!

What I learned is summed up in one very simple sentence:

"Get the fuck out of my way."
