I think the key is, and always has been, balance. It's one thing to use a tool like a computer or tablet for learning. It's another when that electronic device is your babysitter and parent all rolled into one. I
t reminds me, back in the day before we all had computers and smartphones, some people/parents would say "that kid has his nose buried in a book all day, he needs to go outside and play" as if it was a bad thing to be reading a lot. I suppose it's one thing if you're sitting around reading Batman comics all day versus reading classic literature or the history of WWII.
I tried getting my daughter, this was 2 years ago, to talk with her great-grandpa about WWII. He was an engineer and helped keep inventory/supplies, help maintain machinery and help build bridges in WWII. She was doing a report on vehicles, especially tanks used.....I said it's a rare thing to be able to go right to a source for WWII still and he'd be happy to chat with her about that sort of thing from the war (he wouldn't talk about the gritty stuff though, like the internment camp his platoon helped liberate). Sadly, she passed up the opportunity and then about 6 months ago my grandpa passed away at the age of 97 (he'd have been 98 this February 28th - he was born about an hour before Feb 29th, almost a leap year baby...I'd joke with him about it because he'd only be 24 if you went by leap years).
The wife and I have the kids read at least 20 minutes a day. If it's a book they like, sometimes that 20 minutes turns into an hour and the 9 year old, he likes to tell about the funny parts he reads about when he's done.
Once all school work is done, chores are done, reading is done and if there are no other activities for the day, we let the kids play on the xbox or tablets for a bit, but we won't let them sit there all day long on them. I grew up with the NES when it launched when I was just about 6 years old, I had video games my whole life and I played them and enjoyed them, but I also worked and went outside to play, not just hunkered down in front of the TV playing games all the time.
As for Activision/Blizzard haven't supported either 15+ years.
CoD games are a joke, just downhill since CoD2.
WoW - bleh, I tried it, but wasn't a fan of it. Got old after getting my hunter to level 40.
Warcraft: Orcs and Humans and Warcraft 2 were good.
StarCraft was good.
Diablo and Diablo 2 were good.
I tried a few the other CoD games that have come out since CoD2 on my brother's Xbox systems over the years and they weren't very good, too many QTEs.
My kids don't even play any Activision/Blizzard games, either. I can't say this is good or bad from my personal perspective.
