Why do games need skill or thought to be worthwhile? Quite often they're social spaces for my (8yo) son to play with his school friends, or meditative experiences when he's tired, or just silly jokes that he wants to show us - including some he makes himself. He can tell good games from bad, can recognise (and ditch) pay-to-win games really fast. It's a big place with its own culture and rules, and too interesting to write off.
