It's not a coincidence...
Although I definitely agree that we have game-playing culture embedded within ourselves, I would take your statement a step further to say that game-playing is embedded so deep into our existence that it has demonstrated and taught (through symbolic interactionism) how humans are to behave. Even when people are not using technological devices to play games, we have all played house as children where we learn gender roles and out into action what we have learned from our families/ communities. I think those initial childhood game stages (even playing peek-a-boo in our infant years) are what prepare us to perceive and process information into categories. I would argue that the connection between the games and GIST is not a coincidence.
