I do think that there is a massive spiritual influence in videogames starting all the way back since the beginning of the 5th gen of consoles, and the decline of the medium as a whole is the medium itself distancing from its metaphysical roots. After all, there is an invincible agreement over the "Soul vs Soulless" phenomenon that it's hard to point from conventional wisdom perspective. In the terms of the Vedas, this is part of a life cycle across the three phases of any event on existence: creation, preservation, and destruction; Creation (1-4 gen), Preservation (5-early7 gen), Destruction (mid7-onwards). The decline of vidya, in general, is a parallel with the upcoming aquarium age.
