Very good observation.

I don’t know the answer.

Other than that the very medium isolates people in their own little imaginary worlds where they control everything and can forget their own identities and problems, and live vicariously. Such types of entertainment lend themselves very easily to the dark side. When I was a kid (ancient times) we kids played cowboys and Indians - and sometimes just Indians - with other kids. Hide and seek, and all kinds of other games, regular or made up. We only played indoors if it was bad weather, and then we made up other games, read, made things, or played board games. Not isolationist imaginary worlds were the player is god in his own little realm.

My childhood seems as though it was 100 years ago, life was so different.

The answer (on an earthly plane) will be someone with a deep gospel conviction willing and positioned to use such resources. It’s that easy, really. Even if they didn’t know much about the technology, they could direct programming contractors concerning what they want the games to depict and how they want the games to behave.
