I think that argument works a lot better if we're talking about a consumption level in the 10-100s of hours, along the lines of average for this title and most others like it:

6000 hours is multiple orders of magnitude beyond that point, so it feels like a point where it's a lot safer to reach for an absolute judgment that it really is "too much".

It's a multiplayer game

Fair, and I know that's a different ballgame if you're going to compare with Destiny 2 or WoW or League or something. But nonetheless, I think there's value in at least having some measure of calibration for what is reasonable and healthy.

But you don't know his life. Why judge from afar? I'm not saying it's normal or recommendable for the average person. I'm just saying, we don't know.
