If he were behaving the same, but instead of gaming it was working or studying, would you feel the same way?

What if he were studying the equivalent of "basket weaving"?

It's definitely obsessive behavior, but it sounds like that's how your son is wired. If you want your son to be happy, start supporting him unconditionally and stop making him feel judged. If you want him to be exceptional, be patient and odds are he will eventually direct his obsessive behavior towards something valuable.
