This is a reasonable response, however if his habits are inhibiting his lifestyle then she has every right to bring it up as an issue.
It's not a reasonable response at all. It's unhealthy AF.
If the partner is prioritizing games over their relationship or responsibilities, and is making the other feel like they have to compete for attention and time with their partners habits or addiction.

I like how everyone is inventing a scenario to fit the two lines of dialogue and claiming it's this or that.
There's no way to definitely say if it's reasonable or not because they guy could be prioritizing gaming over his life and relationship or the lady could just be embarrassed that she is dating a guy with "immature" hobbies and he may be very regulated about the time spent gaming.
In one scenario it's reasonable in the other it's not.
Because woman. And it's misogynistic to put women in that role in a meme. Because they would clearly never do that, and nobody has ever experienced this, and in any case what men experience is misogynistic. So, apparently this is now a misogyny thread. If it was a man saying it, it would be ok, because it wouldn't be misogyny. Simple as.
