They do work, but not everyone will see any benefits from them.
Using a VPN service can help in cases where the packets between you and the game servers are normally routed in some bad way. Then the VPN service can force the packets to travel along some better route.
If the network packets are already going the quickest available way between you and the game servers, then a VPN service would not help at all.
