I'm dating a girl who dislikes any kind of game, from monopoly to videogames and yet she accepted to watch me doing one quest from The Witcher.
Also: I've met more than 10 cases where women left their partners because they were addicted to League of Legends.
So I would say that video game addiction is a real problem and there are many people who avoid partners that play/gamble/drink/watch too much sports/anything to excess where you are ignoring your partner too much.
Fixed it.
I'm 22 and in university studying comp sci. Most people I know are already moving on from games. In my whole life there was only one older person who played strategy games. If anyone asked me I'd just say no to avoid getting looked down upon (this is mostly because I tend to avoid the mainstream games for the most part)
That insecurity is something that one just needs to work out of. I know it is difficult for some, but the more you embrace who you are, the happier you will be. Who are you worried that would look down on you? Friends? Mates? Family? If they look down on you for a hobby that 1/3 of the planet engages in, is the single biggest revenue driver in mobile applications today, and is a significant focus for some of the biggest companies in the world, then they are the ones with the problem, not you.
