You can replace "videogames" with literally anything and it still works.
Sports, dance, family, etc.
Everybody knows too many people for an anecdote to make videogames and heroin the same. It's like pointing out some school shooter played a violent video games; so did the people they shot. You need to disprove the null hypothesis; not show that there exists evidence.

You're engaging in superficiality to the point that all distinction is made meaningless. > It's like pointing out some school shooter played a violent video games That's a totally different argument

It's the Millenial equivalent the satanic rock scare. Politicians will always use these kinds of tricks to influence opinion and even enact laws. I want more than sound bites if we're going to compare addiction to something as well studied as hard drugs.
