Electronics ruined my child

My son is 8 and obviously obsessed with video games. Fortnite, roblox, Minecraft, hello neighbour etc. I allow him to play on weekends and weekends only. With the accept ion of when his friends want to face time and play during the week seeing as he hasn’t gotten to interact with other kids for the past few months due to Covid. I don’t mind allowing him to play for a bit but I really don’t like what it does to him. He completely zones out, doesn’t hear nor care about anyone or anything in his surroundings, he gets angry when asked to do something, he gets irritable and talks back, he almost ends up in a trance and it’s like he’s a totally different child. When we tell him it’s time to put it away he gets very upset and emotional usually ending in a little tantrum and tears. Something he outgrew when he was a toddler but seems to come out when he has the electronics.

On the electronic free days he’s fun, adventurous, wants to go out and ride his bike, ride his scooter, play basketball, walk the dog, play board games, lego, action figures you name it. Anyone else feel like electronics are ruining their child?
