I completely agree, but I'm trying to discover and avoid my own biases -- isn't it true that keeping up a friendship with someone who has nothing to talk about except [one subject] is always going to be shitty? It does seem, though, that there's something inherently exclusive about video games. I know many people who have just the one "hobby" -- and my friends who are similarly obsessed with football, music, skating or reading fantasy novels all seem to be able to branch out to other interests with much more ease than my League of Legends-playing friends.
