Generation Alpha is going to play pen and paper games and go outside. Video games are going to be strapped to the same whales and any suckers willing to pay for the online consoles.
You're more optimistic than I am. My niece and nephew are gen alpha and they're just as bad as the younger half of gen Z when it comes to iCrap frying their brains since before they could walk. My mom has tried board games with my niece and hasn't had much success. My nephew is only 4 and he's autistic so his best hope is getting into PC gaming and becoming one of us in a decade or so.
That is more of a parenting problem. It might also be regional but I’ve seen it less at the stores and generally seen the parks more busy.
As for pen and paper, it still is super popular, much to Wizards trying hard to squash itself. Neon Odyssey made millions on a three book tabletop set kickstarter and some other tabletops I follow get funded day 1. Board games are hard to get into but they have to show interest first.
I can't see my nephews doing pen and paper games, but they will play board games and stuff and go outside for sure. I mean a lot of it is parenting because while they aren't restricted from modern tech entirely, it's often quite limited in when and how much. The oldest would 100% only put the iPad down to pick up the PS5 controller and probably fall asleep with one of them in his hands if allowed to do so. Can only hope some of that sticks when he gets older. He's at least not into any of the gacha games, I include all this Fortnite and GTA in that category.
