Advice on game engines to recommend for new game devs (Godot?)
Context: I’ve been working on Moddio (www.modd.io) for a few years and I’ve always been really proud of building something for indie devs. Our game engine is open-source, free, and is particularly designed for beginners. Most of our users come in with zero coding experience and have never touched a game engine before. My proudest moment has been hearing users tell me that they learned how to code, and even went on to try and become professional game devs, because of Moddio.

My son wants to be a game dev, is there a
Props to your son for being interested in game dev! As someone else here said, one of the hardest things about game development is that it's slow and hard to get started. That's really difficult, especially for younger people who want to see an impact right away, otherwise they get discouraged building. I'd recommend either trying to mod games, or trying something like Minecraft or Roblox. The advantage of the latter two are that he'll also find like-minded developers, around his own age, which would help with motivation. I also wanted to toot my own horn, I've been building a website (www.modd.io) which is no-code and easier to get started building games. He could use a template and have a game online in 1 minute, and players can join - this tends to help with that "magic moment" of getting started. I'm happy to help out too if you have any questions!

What are some underrated tools every game developer should know?
I also wanted to toot my own horn a bit and share a tool I've been working on - www.modd.io which is a browser based game development platform. It has drag and drop coding and multiplayer features built in, so it's easier for beginners to get started.

Unity’s New Pricing: A Wake-Up Call on the Importance of Open Source in Gaming
It's not as monolithic as you'd think. There are lots of engines out there but their communities aren't very vocal compared to Unity, Unreal, and especially Godot's community.
Take a look at: https://itch.io/game-development/engines/most-projects
And
https://www.gamedeveloper.com/blogs/the-generous-space-of-al...
If you look at both of these you'll see just how many engines there are and neither of these cover everything. There are plenty of engines popular in the Python community that no one outside of it are aware of. Such as Arcade [0], Python-Tcod [1], Ursina [2], UPBGE [3], and Panda3D [4]. But based on your description you'd really like https://gdevelop.io/. It embraces exactly what you're describing where you can build a game but just installing entire features others have made and put online into your game.
[0] Beginner friendly 2D library:
[1] Rougelike: https://python-tcod.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
[2] Beginner friendly 3D engine (built on Panda3D): https://www.ursinaengine.org/
[3] Blender Game Engine Fork: https://upbge.org/
[4] Highly flexible code first 3D engine: https://panda3d.org/

Construct's New WebGPU Renderer
After they switched to a monthly/annual subscription fee with the release of construct 3, I pretty much threw in the towel and switched over to Gdevelop.
https://github.com/4ian/GDevelop
Open source, completely free, and I can run it as a native application on my computer versus a weird web app. The idea that my game is basically tied to a SaaS is just not OK for me.
- Suggestion for software please
