Gamers and employability

I heard on the grapevine being a MMOGamer makes you less employable, their reasoning that you are never 100% out of the game and less focused on your work than a non-gaming candidate. "When they aren't actively playing, they're probably surfing gaming message boards."
Recruiters have told job-seekers NOT to mention it under hobbies/pastimes.
what do you think about that? eek
