Parents, consider actually buying games. Exceptions are FOSS games, which are usually full games in their own right. Stay away from mobile-only games and F2P.
There are some really great indie games out there.

Yeah, definitely. But the problem with Fortnight at least is that it seems to have become a sort of social meeting place for many children. Really a shame that it has to be such a predatory game from such a shitty company.
