My boyfriend plays videogames for 6+ hours everyday

My boyfriend (28 M) and i (25 F) have been in a relationship for almost 3 years. We both met cus we had a big videogame interest and we bonded over that.in the beginning he had no work and i studied and worked part time so we both stayed up for long playing together. After about one year he did get a job and that works well with his addiction, but those are the main two things that he does. Work and game.
I feel his addiction affects our relationship a whole lot. I feel like he cant fully keep focus when i speak, he forgets almost everything i tell him and his ”love and sexual lust” is barely there. He doesnt put alot of effort into other things unless he has to.
I often therefor feel like im nagging at him and getting angry alot of the time.
Hes very sweet and a really kind person, nothing else is ”wrong” in the relationship.
His Videogameaddiction makes it so that he also sleeps very little and is always tired, and whenever we meet he wants to get that extra sleep back when i would like to get up and avtually spend the day together with him.
I have brought up alot of times that it is a problem and he has no problem admitting to it. But its like admitting to having a problem is enough. He doesnt want to change it cus he cant see the problem or what else he would do during the days.
I dont know what to do.
I have wanted to move to study in another city and he wants to come with me, but he never puts in the effort of ”looking for a place to stay” or ”figure out what he should to if i study”.
Am i wrong for thinking that hes videoaddiction is ruining our relationship.
(He plays for atleast 6 hours a day, he also has raids (in wow) 4 times a week that we always have to plan around. If he doesnt game he mostly on his phone or watches a movie)
