I agree, plenty games sans the iap bullshit to play, both digital and not. The whole premise of the article is at best a failure in parenting > Instead, I am

  > The whole premise of the article is at best a failure in parenting That's really what I was thinking throughout the article too. His child is in kindergarten. At that age, the majority of exposure to these games comes from the parents. If you don't want your child exposed to games with broken economic principles that teach you to always want to consume more, then it's easy, let them play something else. My (not yet kindergarten age) son's favourite game at the moment is hitting a balloon in the air with a paddle and seeing how many hits he can get before it hits the ground. He gets to keep score, practice counting, get some exercise and have loads of fun from all the near hits and misses. It's a game that keeps him amused, and needs minimal active supervision and all it costs is a new balloon every few days once the air from the old one runs out.
