A '''video game''' is an electronic game, which is played on a device such as a [[computer]] or console. Board games such as [[chess]] are also played online, but '''''[[chess]] is more beneficial to the mind and less addictive'''''. Video games provide the user with audio and visual feedback when the game is played. Today, they are often played with others, either in-person or over the [[Internet]]. Video games, even ones exported to [[Russia]], increasingly promote the [[homosexual agenda]] contrary to the policy of Russia and elsewhere.<ref>https://www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/ea-keeps-lgbtq-content-in-russian-release-of-sims-4-wedding-pack/</ref> By exploiting [[addiction]], the "Global Video Games Market to Reach $293.2 Billion by 2027."<ref>https://finance.yahoo.com/news/global-video-games-market-reach-104400018.html</ref>
