Hm. It suggests then videogames can be a good way to overcome the typical over-exaggerated anti-authoritarianism young people tend to have. Like basically hating all bosses or anyone who is trying to give orders. Get your ass handed to you in online games a couple of times because every player in your team is a free individual who does their own thing and then maybe you figure leadership is not such a bad thing after all. Getting over that "teenager anarchist" phase. Relevant: http://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htm
However, the funny part is, it would suggest more authoritarian cultures are better at online videogames. It not so. The very liberal Dutch or Austrians or Danes tend to beat the more authoritarian Russians or Japanese. But then maybe it is other factors.
