It’s been great so far. Made me want to go back through d2 and d3.

None. I don’t think I’ve ever spent money in game outside of a story dlc or two that added hours of game time. I tend not to play online games anyway tho.

As a seasoned dad, don’t get too wrapped up in studies. There’s no right way to do it - I drove myself nuts. Just don’t use screens as babysitters and you’re already ahead of the game. Also, grats!
My kids earn screen time through chores, good grades, and being kind - but we do limit it per day though with how busy we are it’s mainly weekends where we enjoy it. An hour or so is all they have time for during the week most days. After chores and homework are done, weekends are a free for all but they don’t just sit on games or anything the whole time, they’re pretty active kids that like being outside and love books. That’s not to say we don’t have the occasional ‘blanket fort livingroom gaming day’ now and again. Screen time usually isn’t an issue in our house, I think because we didn’t treat it like that bad thing that they couldn’t have too much of - so they didn’t go crazy with it.
Just about finding balance. Both my kids have iPads and switches, my son has his series s, and we have a ton of shared consoles. I have all my retro and current consoles/gaming pc. They watch YouTube(kids) and a few channels like unspeakable or other Minecraft gamers. microsoft (xbox) has pretty awesome parental controls/monitoring as well.
I will say though, digital learning is a nightmare. And now that the public schools have that option (after lockdown) snow days aren’t snow days anymore which kinda sucks. So I pull my kids ‘out of school’ on those days so they can have some fun!
