Video Games *
Video game blog
In 80s and early 90s video games were stand alone, or shared at home with siblings. After that the industry became a billion dollars business raking in money, and connecting players to random people, making stranger danger a problem, and bad influences on your kids were also getting a hold of them via the headset.
Gaming is an addiction now not a light hobby, or just a light thing you enjoy for 20 minutes, and move on in your day. It is ruining families, married relationships, and relationships with kids, cuz the husband neglects his family to feed his addiction.
A guy on tv said he spent $40,000 on games using the in app feature. One would think it must've taken him 20 years to spend that, but... turns out it was only 400 days. That's barely more than one year. He spent $100 a day on gaming. And noted recently he even spent almost $800 one day.
Today's gaming should be avoided. If it's absolutely necessary for some reason, buy the old games like Atari and Playstation that had cartridges and stands alone without connecting to people or apps.
If you or your kids from preteen years to age 35 are playing games that have in app purchases, thats a problem. They dont just play one game, but multiple. If they're using the in app pay features... that's on estimated loss of $ 365,000 dollars every 10 years, so over 35 years that's costing you $ 1,277,500 million dollars. That's insane!!
Have you checked your bank and credit cards to see how much your losing on gaming by your husband or your entire family? It adds up!
Same with smoking, drinking (alcohol, daily coffees or bobas), or temu, clothes and bag hauls, dirt bikes, new cars, etc. You're wasting your money and it's as bad as gambling addiction, which are sin, your affections and priorities are not in the right place. Connectedly you're not being a good stewards of the money God has given you, which should be for providing for your family, saving up for emergencies and for retirement, and your kids college funds, and helping Christians at church, & funding Kingdom work. You'll waste all you have and go broke. Destitute. And won't be storing up treasure in Heaven, nor helping folk come to Christ, as you should be.
Start taking your finances seriously. Start teaching your kids. And ban video games and mobile games so they are saved from that destructive lifestyle, forever. Train them up right in the Lord and financial matters now.
