Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST (automaton-media.com)

I don't think it's fair to call the attachment to fiction and whimsy arrested development. It's a normal human thing, it's not the peoples fault that all our entertainment is under the boot of exploitative business practices.

Also worth mentioning that unfortunately young people are still very much attached and exploited by commercialism. Roblox and Gacha games come into mind.
