I would like to see ONE person depicted as playing video games (M&K or controller) and have their hand inputs look believable, not just randomly flailing at the device. I would die a happy man if the inputs corresponded to what’s displayed in the game.
This is the gamer equivalent of when you hear music and see someone playing an instrument in a show/movie, and nothing they are doing matches the music.
Good parallel. I don’t even need it to be perfect, I just don’t need to see a person holding a controller when it’s obvious they have never touched one in their life and they’re just randomly thrashing at it like a curious monkey
Honestly, movies and shows should stick to showing people playing racing games, because then you only need to instruct the actor to move the left stick around and hit the right trigger.
Perfectly believable gameplay with just two inputs.
But they almost always need to show them playing a shooter because then they get to talk about how hard they are killing everybody while doing their best impression of what their 13 year old nefew talks about on Fortnite or COD or whatever, but as a 30 year old actor. Lol

I spent my life as a game dev.

And the director needs to be shouting instructions at the actor… Move your head more, like you’re dodging real bullets
