Nah, not really. Video games have been shown to be very good at increasing problem solving, planning, and fine motor skills. The problem is parents (including mine) who didn't/don't put reasonable limits on their use. A kid who plays video games a couple hours per week is going to turn out just fine.

I think there are also serious qualitative differences between games in the 90s/00s and mobile freemium games of today.

Practicing problem solving skills in the simplified and consequence-free video game world is very useful at a very young age. But young minds must switch over to solving problems in the far richer and more complicated real world as soon as possible.
