Had enough of his gaming

when me and dh first got together I didn't even know he was a gamer. He didn't talk about games and I never saw him play them. then once we got engaged and moved in together he started playing games all the time. he'd start playing as soon as he finishes work and would stay there until 1-2 in the morning and would wear headphones so we couldn't even talk. we nearly split up because of this but he got really upset and promised to cut down. things got better, we got married and had a baby and gaming wasn't a problem anymore.
right now I'm 35+1 weeks pregnant with dc2 and he's started gaming again.
His brother, who is completely addicted to pc gaming and literally only leaves his room to go to work started complaining because dh doesn't play games as often and texts him every night asking him to play online with him. Now it's like it was before.
Bil is really starting to cause arguments between me and dh and doesn't understand that he has a family and has priorities and can't just put games first whenever it suits him.
I don't expect dh to give up his hobby but I don't think I can put up with this anymore. what should I do?

Compromise? Ask him to restrict it to two hours a night?

Perhaps he could have set nights and times?
