That isn’t too likely. What is more likely, is that the game - whatever one it was - was the whole of this offender’s life. His entire sense of self and self worth tied up in the game. Then he loses in a competition. Think of the movie ‘Falling Down’ crossed with Beavis and Butthead.
I am an avid gamer, and have been for almost fifty years. It is a pastime for me, not the core of my existence. That used to be the rule among gamers, but now there are a lot of people for whom it is the sum of their existence, and any setback, criticism, or even an opinion which does not track with theirs will send them into a frothing, raging fit. I’m guessing this offender was one of those.
I was watching the Baltimore - NYY game on ESPN, and the crawl on the bottom said the shooting was at a Madden 19 tournament.

LOL - Sad but true commentary.
