As a believer in Christ I too have had this on my mind throughout my gaming years. I just had a discussion with my wife about it before typing this. We both agree that there are videogames that are from the get go unwise for believers to play (because of the cursing, sexuality, and overall crudeness of the game) but there are others that are not inherently evil necesarrily. That being said, ANY video game can become an idol just like ANYTHING enjoyable or painful can become an idol. I've had my moments where I've gotten so obsessed with certain video games that I idolized them. Even to this day just THINKING about playing all the Paper Mario games again makes me so so happy. I have to fight the urge to idolize and adore the things I enjoy in life and simply enjoy them while ONLY adoring my Creator and Savior.
I am, however, a BIG advocate for online missionary work. I have spent many years professing Christ to people in online game/forum settings. I do not say this to boast myself up, but simply to point out that there are a LOT of people who can be reached through the internet.
