Idk, this new generation is growing up without games like RuneScape and EvE. I don't know where they're supposed to learn about scams like we all did.

Instead they get scammed directly from the game companies! So many kids’ games that have gambling features (look at loot boxes, for example)

I got scammed on trade wars as a kid. Saddest day of my young life. Taught me a lesson about Internet security though.
