According to the Interview with some guy who was among the pioneers in Videro Games, who had helped invent Atari, and some other types of Game stuff:
Pot was instrumental in the creation of video games, according to that man, as he said how it helped him and the development team to get ideas, expand their minds, etc, and thus enabled them to create video games.
That was not the focus of the article, though that was a major part of the interview.
Btw, that was in Game Informer.
