This definitely originated from the Chris Sacca anecdote about Travis Kalanick being one of the top Wii Tennis players - it either came out in a start-up podcast or some shark tank episode.

Anecdotally watching and following top e-sports players (in Overwatch in particular) I would see high video game performance as at best a neutral indicator... those archetypes of people are typically very good at the one activity they do all day and very poor at taking care of themselves or sticking to things that don't immediately excite them.

Finally, for many video games are a coping mechanism and may be a better red flag indicator for past trauma, depression, etc.
