Actually, it is not off topic. Video games, by their very nature of goals for each game, time spent, addiction potential, are opposed to what God tells us to have as our goals. There isn't, for instance, even a pretense made of bible based video for this reason. The reason some are seeing this as finding something wrong always is that what God suggests is families and people having fun together with love, and in our world other things are promoted instead.
That is ridiculous! That is looking at the legalism in listening to God. Are you sharing love? Helping develop talents or helping with isolation in a dark room?
Besides, God only sends unrepentant people who refuse to know Him to hell. If a human says something usually leads away from God, that is NOT saying someone is going to hell much less sinfully saying God will send him there.

Can I recommend Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. There is nothing harmful, sinful or anything else which can be condemned in any religious text. In terms of addictive chemicals, has anyone ever looked into the physiological and physchological effects of people singing or speaking together? There are a range of chemicals that are released which cause a feeling of Belonging and uplifting calm.....sound familiar?

i played over 200 hours of Skyrim. i fail to see how it promotes sex.
want to know what i learned playing that time-sucking monstrosity?
inventory management. that is what you spend all your time doing in Skyrim. gathering resources and putting them to use. i was able to have a lot of constructive & meaningful conversations with my son over the game too, from making ethical choices to the wisdom and strategies of struggle. sex never came up.
the Grand Theft Auto series, on the other hand, i think are brilliant games as 'games' go, but make no bones about celebrating & encouraging wickedness & the main storylines don't let the player avoid engaging in prostitution. i'd never let my son play them. you're picking on the wrong game. if anything, Skyrim is full of demonology. it has nothing to do with gratifying the flesh and everything to do with a lust for the illusion of power.
so Skyrim's not a wholesome game by any means, but you're definitely misrepresenting it.
