Video games and moral ground

When I was a kid we had God's as supreme beings. I heard so many fascinating mythological stories. They were our superheroes per say. Now, in today's age, when everything is "modern" the spirituality is falling behind. But the need for something supernatural, something that we can not see with just our eyes remains in kids. Kids want that "unknown".. supernatural part.  This empty void is getting filled by all these video games that are bright, violent and just not good. These games almost always makes one feel empty with need for more at the end- Let's achieve next level, next game.. be some superstar with no end in sight. In mythological stories there was pure distinction between good and bad behavior. Helping others, being compassionate, loving and kind was good. Standing up against bad was good. Hurting others, being selfish was bad. Simple and clear distinction. Now in these video games, we see these hypothetical people ( that kids things themselves)  killing other people, killing animals and what not and in the process getting hurt themselves ( hypothetically -and really mentally).  And all this is wowed as a fun time. Where is the moral ground? How can these undeveloped minds differentiate between good and bad? Real and unreal?  Where is a basic moral ground? When these video game creators create these games, what moral ground do they create this on? Is it- being creative-of course but what else? Is it earning more money, getting little kids addicted to these games so they watch more and more? And then what? Giving them anxiety? Do these game developers care about what happen to these kids? Our God's and mythological stories did. They cared for us. We always felt supported. We had faith and that faith increased even during tough times. What these kids have- a false sense of superiority?  And what should we do as parents. Its easy to get addicted to internet.... as adults we do. So is it really our kids fault? When my little one throws a fit when his video game or TV turned off .. it makes me worried. When kids try to find different ways to get on internet and watch stuff in spite of us putting all the possible password locks... it makes me worried. It is my responsibility as a parent to take care of my kids. At the same time we need societal structure where morality is cherished and instilled in each and every level. I will never change the internet world where all these things are available. So here is my earnest request to all those video game developers- make something better. Make things that are not only entertaining but also has potential to improve our kids life and improve their sense of belonging and connection. I am not against video games ( well I am but that ship has sailed..). How about game where you help others and you get points. You stay calm  and you get points... whatever coins/hearts/ magic wand etc. that you want. Selflessness and giving food/ clothes to others will make you earn point. Healthy boundaries and teaching to speak up against violence and injustice gives you points. Showing you are connected with others and making these beautiful connections will make kids earn points. Show them how we all are connected. Show them how to be compassionate and kind... through your video games. And also show them limits.. may be an hour on video game and you turn it off and now you get maximum points. If you develop something like this... with love and compassion in your heart... I will be ever grateful!
