Why immediately make a direct correlation between gaming 3 hours a day and behavioural impairment? That is called bias. 

Because while the two are not one and the same, there is a correlation between time spent gaming and it becoming a disorder. It would be hard for it to reach the level of a disorder if you only played an hour a day.

If a social dysfunctional person spends 3 hours on video games and 3 hours on social media every day (look around you outside, everybody is always looking at their smartphone), then you cannot say that 3 hours of gaming are the direct cause it. It can be part video games, part social media. It can be only smartphone. The cause can be totally something else.
