Video game addiction is a symptom of multiple societal issues, you cannot simply solve it dealing with the symptom.
By "no longer safe to play outside" are you referring to the people operating child murdering trucks?
I live in a city outside of the US, it’s not particularly safe for kids to play outside as there is crazy traffic and nowhere to really go.
There are just a few small parks in the city and they are not easily accessible.
When I lived in the states, I played outside with friends in the suburbs, but stopped around high school, as there were very few kids in my neighborhood and previous friends moved away/outgrew playing as they were older than me.
