It's a bit of both mixed in with games companies explicitly using techniques in honed in gambling industry to keep kids attached to their product. I've worked in videogames for 25 years and the industry is "oblivious" to the harm it is causing because it's very profitable. There has been little innovation in games for the last ten years compared to the innovation in the business model used by the industry which has seen rapid change to grab children attention for as long as possible.
