Secondly there are far too many ways for children to engage in mindless 'play' that makes them lazy and more prone to distraction and procrastination.
Take away the video games as an entitlement, they can play by learning an instrument, learning chess, reading books, going outside, etc. Boredom fosters creativity and the motivation to learn skills that become fun over time but take effort to get good at, video games destroy said boredom.
It isn't rocket science that the young kids today whose parents prohibit them from playing video games and mindlessly watching tv tend to have more challenging hobbies, are more widely read, have more discipline, etc. In the old days radio shows (then tv shows) were a privilege at the end of the day after children did their chores and had engaged in their productive, character building play.
