It's not really that bad either, I can open up Minecraft at any

Either your kid has tons of mods in their Minecraft or your
computer is a bit dated.
Now compare that kind of resources consumption with any game
based on Quake III engine. While you are at it, compare the
graphisms. Still not convinced ? Measure latencies, which are
critical for most games.
