The kid obviously doesn't care about getting fat and if he wants to play videogames all the time then he'll play videogames all the time. He's working himself into an early grave, but the kid enjoys it so he's going to do it. Some kids spend all their time playing sport, and live, breath, eat and sleep sport. It just happens to be that sport is good exercise and videogames are not. You can tell the kid to stop playing games and he'll say no-the same way that if you tell a kid to stop doing sport he'll say no. t's just unlucky that his favourite hobby is sitting on his ass all day playing videogames. Everyone has different hobbies. He obviously likes games and would put them over his health any day. So if he wants to do that, then he will do it and you can't change what he likes and what he doesn't like.
