A good number of married men my age are addicted to video games (and sometimes alcohol in tandem). This seems to have been a big vice for millennial men but it seems zoomers might even be more addicted.
They go to work and then come home and game - all the time. Even with families they often spend more time gaming than raising their kids.
At least one of these got divorced and another one was threatened with divorce.
Just wanted to mention some IRL examples from my own experience.
