Direct connection? No. Indirect connection? Certainly.
I don't think people understand that gamers by and large overlap with this type of community.
I've been a gamer my entire life.
Thinking outside the box/problem solving, spotting visual clues, connecting pieces/ puzzles, visual+audio pattern recognition, hand eye/read react reflex...

(*Not gamers who almost exclusively play Madden/COD. Think more along the lines of Zelda, Myst, Ultima, Portal, Resident Evil (ridiculous puzzles), The Witness, and into the newer type Soulslike (pattern recognition/extreme difficulty) roguelike (venture forth, fail miserably, learn from your failure, adapt and adjust for the next run to get further)
Ambassador Stevens that died during the Benghazi Embassy incident was a well known EVE Online player. I agree that games can be good teachers of critical thinking skills if you play the right ones.
