Finally got my kids off Fortnite

Been a rough few months watching my kids get more and more addicted to Fortnite. Finally sat down with them and explained why unlimited gaming wasn't happening anymore. We're doing 90 mins on school days, nothing on weeknights after 8pm. First week was rough with the tantrums but they're adjusting. Spending more time playing basketball in the driveway which is a win in my book.

How'd you finally get them off? We've been battling this for months and every conversation turns into a fight. Would love to know what approach actually worked for you.

Fortnite is absolutely designed to keep kids hooked. Props for finally breaking the cycle. That took real commitment on your part.

Was the sit down conversation where you explained the addiction mechanics and how the game is designed to be addictive? Or did you go a different route? Asking because my oldest is starting to get interested in it.
