I seem to have a problem with moderating myself when it comes to playtime on Video Games, How do you keep yourself from just endlessly playing games?

Finding a hobby does not involve therapy lmao literally just try different activities until something makes you feel like you are playing your favorite game.

That's basically what a therapist would tell someone anyways. Therapy can't make you magically find the new hobby you like.

@Mago In another comment I got suggested to Gamify my life a little as that could help with being stuck on games all the time, what I feel might be the best route to go as unless I end up doing E-Sports or something I probably won't quite get that 'itch'.

If you want to maybe get into art or something I can provide resources or recommend novels and all if that's your thing. Would that help?

@WeLoveCastingSpellz I'm more into Video Editing than art, it's actually want I'm trying to swap my habbits with.

Focussing on that should probs help, good luck overcoming your addiction!
