Other than that, most kids actually care more about F2P multiplayer games like Fortnite and Among Us. They're free, have snappy gameplay, and highly addictive due to how quick you can keep the gameplay going even if you die since you can just leave and jump to another round with no penalty, and furthermore the gameplay's always unpredictable and thus exciting because they're multiplayer games that aren't dominated by a stale, static metagame where the strategies are predictable or efficient at the cost of being unfun.
