Boyfriend always playing game on phone

My boyfriend is literally always on his phone of an evening playing a game on there which as you can imagine is really starting to piss me off. Literally he’ll do something like make dinner but the minute it’s in the oven or whatever he’ll be back on the game. I read a lot in the evenings and he says his playing games is exactly the same as my reading - I get that both are the same in that you’re effectively ignoring your partner, but I do feel reading in bed is a much more acceptable activity (relaxing, actually enhancing your mind etc rather than staring at a screen), just not sure how to articulate this. Does anyone else have this issue and how do you deal with it if so?

I do know of two marriages that started as affairs conducted via mobile game, but really that is specific to fighting type ones with clans. Men valiantly defending female clan members from dragons or orcs and HELLO nude webcamming. Naturally. Lol, the modern world is ridiculous.
