I agree with this is some ways, however I’m not sure I’d call it a disorder but more a serious addiction. I had s friend who bought a gaming PC and slowly we stopped seeing him more n more. We would ring him and ask if he fancied some wild camping, some bouldering or just coming for A drink and sometimes he’d come but over time he was clearly getting addicted. He stopped answering calls and ignored the door. At work he looked pale and would only talk about counterStrike (that was the game)
We took the piss saying he’s become a recluse and he would just admit it and didn’t care. He just said to us when not at work he just liked to play CS and had a clan etc.
He wasn’t even eating properly. Because cooking took up too much gaming time. This literally went on fit around 2 years and he simply couldn’t be classed as a friend anymore besides he didn’t like us warning him he had a problem.
In the end he randomly came out and said he was getting rid of his pc as it’s took over his social life and tobiur amazement he actually did and he moved to America but came back after 4-5 months saying he didn’t enjoy it that much.over there. He’s well and truly stopped gaming all together now though, doesn’t even own a console.
