what's the best way to deal with gf's gaming addiction?

Pull away, in hopes that she will realize what the game is doing to our relationship, or be present and non-judgemental, but not enabling?

Probably a mix of both; you

Probably a mix of both; you need to enjoy life for yourself while she games. The point is not to be spiteful and try teach her a lesson by "withholding your love". It's probably best you accept that anything you do cannot control or cure her addiction.

Reading the link for SO's from my signature below may help you learn about communication,  make your own boundaries and learn about detaching with love and enabling, then make the plan which is best for YOU !
