I got the new Prince of Persia game, my favorite childhood game, and i have to say that so far it's excellent.
It's a modern side-scroller which is fantastic for an old boomer like me.

I personally, can't play any video games anymore. I personally cannot control them. Not trying to discourage anything, but I feel like even if the games are clean, they are addictive. I now prefer activities that include creativity and productivity, such as drawing and making music.
Now, I do still like characters from video games, but I won't play the games with them anymore. Maybe I should write about Mario and Luigi becoming Christians...
Now, joking aside, this verse comes to my mind.
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
I am not sure how ya can do that with video games. Not trying to be a pharisee towards this community's gamers, but I personally believe it has harmed my life greatly and I regret having spent hundreds of dollars on it...

My son is obsessed with video games as most kids are today. This kid came up to us and started talking about roblox. No joke I was thinking is this my kid? He sounded just like him... so strange. He's good friends with my son now, go figure. So yea it can bring people together.
We have a 1-2 hour a week rule and are pretty strict with it only bc our son gets obsessed and it's unhealthy for emotional growth. It's always 1 of my 1st consequences to go as well. He would play video games over everything even eating or going outside. He's very good and even beats entire games at 6 which is crazy as I never did that even much older.
People, even kids make a living on YouTube playing games believe it or not. I mean a ton of money. Even in education we will use video game themes for brain breaks or teaching even... building habitats in minecraft with a polar bear and Antarctica. Also kids will read in certain video games as they have stories. They can go into graphic design for video games... which is basically the new I want to be a football player star. Every kid wants it. But even with freelancing you can do pretty well. You can turn any hobby into money nowadays. The more people enjoy it the more money you make.
From a spiritual perspective I have no idea. My son dreams about flying and has weird dreams compared to me as a kid. They say people who play video games have lucid dreams more... which I didn't start until an adult. I think people like it bc it's creating and we're made in the image of God, therefore enjoy creating. I don't think God is surprised at all that many people enjoy video games.
