Using the disc design from shop=music with some sort of games console?
Just to give an idea, a very quick sketch: video_gamesdraft01png (needs a better design)

It's not readable for me with a CD element. Maybe just a pad will be enough? (shop-violet will suggest that is a shop)

A pad should be central, and if not alone, maybe add the console box (the one that is easy to recognize) or a simple TV set in the background?

What do you think of this one: https://gist.github.com/doktorpixel14/3b5a5bb589e546f9a12b7716a5d1aecc
It's a generalized gamepad. I think it would be unnecessary to add more objects into the icon, a pad is the most representing thing for video games in my eyes.

For me it's OK.

It's OK but a little unclear at 14x14. Could you try pixel-aligning the buttons? I agree that nothing else should be added to the icon, although a cable coming out of the top might work.

I had also the idea to have a cable "flowing" from the top - it is (probably) included in the original proposition, but not too visible and rather straight.

So here is another version with a small cable: image
For comparison, without: image
I actually like the one with the cable more.

Could you make cable longer and more flowing to the sides? I mean something like this:

Too much symmetry and short cable makes it look more or less like an apple, but that's already quite close.

Okay, so how about this one: image
I also enlarged the buttons so that they are a bit more visible.

Ah okay, I updated it: image
You're right, it doesn't look that apple like anymore.
