There is no such thing as video game addition. Video games do not directly hijack the substrates your brain uses for calculating motivation and interest. It's just another stimuli coming in through your normal senses. There is nothing magical, good or bad, about stimuli on screens.
I don’t believe anything about the definition of addiction has to do with how it “hijacks your substrate”. As far as I found - OP is describing addiction: an overwhelming desire to do something one knows is harmful, which provides no benefit to one’s life, that one cannot maintain a healthy relationship with.
One is direct and one in indirect. For video games to become addictive they actually have to be fun and rewarding; probably in a random interval operant conditioning pattern. For methamphetamine to become addictive you don't even need to be having fun or experiencing reward. That's a big difference. Addicting drugs are usually intrinsically addicting. No video game is.
Most video game "addiction" material is from for profit private treatment centers and rarely peer reviewed. It is not represented in the legal medical codes or in high impact journals.
I do not need an appeal to “the literature” without a cogent argument to begin with. Video game addiction (and other forms of non-substance addictions) are real.
Using the DSM-5 as the only source is quite risky. Consider how they described homosexuality at times in the past.
Video games are absolutely magical! The human senses/brain system evolved to fit a very particular world with certain limitations, none of which exist in a video game world. You can get so deeply into the video game world that you ignore and are even unaware of basic needs like hunger. In video games your senses can become supercharged. You can obtain god-like powers that humans have dreamed of probably since the dawn of time (invincibility, flight, etc). A human brain that evolved with a basic dopamine-based reward center can easily be tricked/manipulated to crank out way too much, which is (at a very simple level) how drugs and other addictions work.
Honest question: do you think there is such a thing as sex addiction?
