Games Destroy kids imagination, its a double edged sword. Some games such as Blockland probably won't but majority of the time imagination is out the window.

Not so for me.

I have this bad habit of getting inspired by practically any sort of game. :/

I've been gaming for 96% of my life and my imagination is still kicking as hard as it used to and in the exact same way as it always has.
What are you basing this statement on, anyway?

Studies, done for a couple of years now. But the point is when I was a kid I played in the sand pit, I have hundreds of toys I spent thousands of hours playing with building scenarios using my imagination. Where as you play games sure you get imagination but you're not letting it expand and you're only taking in things other people have done.
