The thing with some games you mentioned, such as FIFA, has lootbox mechanics, which when it comes down to it is gambling. Those types of games I don't think kids should play, I also don't think they should play online games with strangers. Minecraft would have the benifit of inspiring creativity in kids.

The reason why gaming is often looked in a negitive light when it comes to kids, is that a lot of parents use the gaming consoles as a babysitter. They'll leave their kids play the games while they go do something else. The ironic thing is, that T.V use to be looked upon the same way.

I completely disagree with you have less control of what you kids stream/watch. In fact I'd argue that's just plain wrong. You can set up kid accounts on sites like youtube and can monitor it through a parents gmail. You can set things like videos they can watch, the amount of time they can watch, etc.

Honestly, I would still rather having kids play video games for an hour, if the video game is age appropriate.
