I mean, addiction is just a process where taking part in something for long enougg affects the chemistry of the brain, so when you are separated from this source of pleasure, you're driven to return to it by the chemical imbalances in your brain. Taking part in the action releases a bit of dopamine, and cutting the action out deprives you of that extra dopamine hit.

Drugs can physically alter that chemistry, but so can immensely pleasurable activities like sex - you're a slave to your desires to get the next dopamine hit. If the activity that triggers this reaction is video games, then yeah - you can be addicted to video games.
