For sure. I've never outright banned it if they get access such as from their nan or play them on their laptop when they have time on it. I agree with everything you said. I'm just also not going to let them sit on my phone mindlessly playing them either.
Those apps make them want to pay. They make them want to play every X amount of time to get daily and timed bonuses. They play stupid ads that convince them to download more shitty games that do the same thing.
I don't tell them what to do. But I do have conversations with them so they think about things. I never tell them I think the games are rubbish. Maybe they love that game. And I don't like adults telling kids things they love are trash. I just try to guide them best I can.
It's complicated to navigate.
