Ultimately I think market value gets in the way of this. We're at a point where the technologies and media could really create some engaging experiences which touch on all of those things, but the market is lowest common denominator so we aren't really seeing that yet.

But by example there are Minecraft servers dedicated to the classics where kids can go in and engage with the characters, and explore the worlds at their level of engagement.

(I haven't actually done these with the kids because its more of a commitment to the medium than i'm willing to make with my kids, but it's happening)
