Exactly this.

A person who plays games for an hour each night after a long day of work/school/social activities does not have a disorder.

A person in their 40s with no job, no social life and lives in their moms basement playing games all day likely had a disorder.

No need to go straight to the extreme. A standard MMO addict fits the bill, too.

Just one of many examples, an 8 year old who spends all his free time playing games on his tablet rather than playing with other kids would fit the bill as well.
