The reason they can't market towards kids is not because the gaming market has become big, but because the growth potential for advertising to kids is too small. There are no kids. Society is broken and no one is having kids. Even suggesting to a woman to have children is now in the best case scenario taboo, in the worst case scenario is considered misogyny worthy of a prison sentence. The only "children" women want to take care of are illegal immigrants from some god forsaken hell whole, who are also adults.
So the only market that exists and keeps having a reliable potential for growth, not just in gaming, but in entertainment as a whole, is adults. And this might also be what has caused media to be stuck in this remake era. They keep playing on adult's nostalgia, instead of making something that children of today might like.
