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

[Tomasz-W]

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)

[kocio-pl]

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.

[kocio-pl]

For me it's OK.

[lakedistrictOSM]

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.

[kocio-pl]

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.

[Karthoo]

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

[kocio-pl]

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.

[Karthoo]

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

I must admit I had the same idea as kocio, I'd try to make the cable
significantly longer (curved, to the left end of the icon and a litte big
back)
Generally, I like this icon

[Karthoo]

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

So here are some test renderings:
