I think games as a while have shifted focus from being fun to being addicting, with few exceptions. Little Big Planet and Twisted Metal were fun; Roblox wants your money. And then there's the micro transaction hell that plagues mobile games, which seem to be most of what children play or only have access to these days.

There is a mobile version of Call of Duty, for what it's worth (not much).
