Video games and relationships

Amy • Married 3 years, 9 and 2 year old girls, ttc #3
I am not understanding the issue! My husband is a gamer. If you saw my room it's an under statement. Ps3, ps4, Wii u, xbox1. That's what's only hooked up! He has everything starting back to original Nintendo! He play from the time he gets till he's falling asleep. (He's on 2nd shift). I see a lot of posts about how it's affecting the marriage/relationship. If we're home on the weekends guess where he is! we have 2 girls 2 and 10. Give the baby a disconnected controller and sit on his lap forever. If I want something done I ask him, he does it and probably goes back to whatever game. If the girls need somthing or a diaper, or a cup he'll pause the game and tend to the girls. He'll get a new game once or twice a month we talk about what's coming out, and the reviews and everything. We dont want for anything. We are 100% taken care of! truly don't care! It's doesn't bother me. He is a hard worker and great dad. I usually lay down and read or go in the other room and watch what i want, or get on my computer or tablet. What is the issue with have having a gamer husband?! I'm not trying to bash anyone's hurt feelings form thier SO. I just want to what's the deal?!
