I have an 11-year-old niece who is now playing Fortnite with regularity. I think it's cool she plays it, but what worries me is her parents allow her to do microtransaction purchases, which is hard for me to see. (I had issues with purchasing items too liberally when I had Amazon Prime years ago!) I didn't bring it up with her parents because I didn't want to butt into their parenting decisions.
Even so, I worry about how the ease of purchase and the dopamine hit will affect her purchasing decisions in the future.
My niece is also a straight killer in Fortnite. She's utterly savage. She's very competitive, so she's very invested in victory.
I have a 12yr old, I started playing COD with him and some of his friends with MW2 last year and its been a lot of fun. Good way to bond with him doing something we both enjoy and also able to hopefully influence his peer group to not grow up to be "that kind of COD player".
