No, and the idea is just as strange to me as quitting reading. Games are just another form of media, but the idea of quitting an entire medium seems pretty unique to gaming. You rarely hear of people swearing off of watching movies or listening to music (unless they've just seen a Miley Cyrus video).
I can understand that some people who are stuck in a compulsion loop with one particular game that essentially replaces their lives (a.k.a. WoW Syndrome), though. Some years back Jonathan Blow gave an interesting keynote address about how "unethical" that form of game design is. But I think this kind of addiction is usually the symptom of a larger problem, like general unhappiness with one's life.
