Obviously. But my point was also that I believe that kids in general have greater mental flexibility and stamina and thus, if something interests them, they can probably happily deal with more complexity...
If you believe that kids have more stamina today, I would suggest you haven't been around kids. We have bred a generation based on immediate gratification and short attention spans that result in them ping-ponging from one medium to another.
One of the best things about DnD and the board game hobby in general (that I feel we are slowly losing) is that in many games, it forced them to put down their tech and engage with each other for long stretches of time. Anyone that has played with kids can tell you that it was a rare opportunity for them to actually build stamina/longer attention spans. However, by and large, many are not coming to the table with this already built in. It just isn't how they have been raised.
