What is the ruling on one who gives, sells, or exchanges a video game that contains elements of disbelief (kufr) for playing, without believing in what it contains, and then the one who takes it comes to believe in it? And what is the ruling on one who shares a video of this game online, and thousands view it? Does he commit an act of disbelief (yakfur) in both cases, and is repentance and uttering the two testimonies (Shahadatayn) sufficient for him, especially if he cannot retrieve the game or ascertain the fate of those who were influenced by it?

This question stems from a whisper (waswasa) regarding disbelief (kufr), and what you have mentioned about yourself is not kufr at all. Rather, it is from the category of waswasa. You must turn away from these whispers and humbly supplicate to Allah. It is obligatory upon you to repent for what you have done.
