[2020] My nine year old came up with a new character. “Ghost” It’s a kid character (tagger/street artist). Ps: he’s never once played the game because his mom doesn’t let him 🤣 (too violent). I think it’s pretty amazing. He created it with zero input from any adults.

I love this. Even though I've played video games my whole life, I never really thought of making them, at least until pretty late in life (and through a pretty random confluence of events). But video games as a career is most definitely a real thing. Who knows where your son's passions will lead him, but if it is to video games, he's got a great start. Just keep encouraging his creativity. That's what matters. That will serve him well no matter he goes...

FWIW, I don't let my 9yo old play Apex either. Mostly it's his mother as well.
