I think something that is being lost here, is the fact that video games are a broad term and educational video games are nothing new, in-fact, they've been around at least since the 80s. To me, this isn't about producing educational video games, as much as adding video game elements to existing products and making something new and compelling to the consumers. An example of this would be Duolingo (https://www.duolingo.com/ https://www.duolingo.com/), it's not a game, but it acts like one by introducing mechanics from games into it's identity such as the concept of leveling up, completing levels, earning points... They also do this on a visual level that feels mostly gratifying for it's users. Of course educational games also have a place, but they're mostly disdained by children
