I do not know if you are old enough to remember this, but. In pre-historic times, kids would play, then fight, and made up. Playing was a valuable source of learning social skills, free without subscription or signing up. Sitting next to each other enabled social development. To-day, we have managed to make social skills obsolete, even if the kids sit next to each other for hours. The one advantage, is when these kids go off to war. Their years of video games have prepared them for killing with state of the art technology.
