So...wait...he has to leave something HE likes, but asking you to do the same is unfair? Explain that to me please. To me it sounds perfectly acceptable. It's not that something has to cause problems to make it an issue, you're telling him he can't do something he really enjoys so why shouldn't he expect the same level of commitment from you?

Maybe set up a time table for him. Let him have times it's 'fine' for him to play. Say from X hour to Y hour. Just know that you won't have time with him during that area of the day/week. That way he can game and you can let him, so he's not having to give something up entirely. Don't make it an 'even exchange' since that'll just result in him lying about how long he's been playing.

Really, it sounds like the two of you need to compromise on some things. Yes, he should not play the game when you're trying to be 'together'; however, you shouldn't tell him he can't do something he enjoys just because you don't like it.

As to his friends. They don't have the right to disrespect you in your home, but to the same extent if you're at their place they're allowed to say what they want. If you don't like it, don't go over there. Just because they're his friends doesn't mean you have to like/deal with them too.
