    I dont understand, where in the article does it say his religion told him gaming was good? If you are referring to the part about killing people in games, which is allowed under buddhist rules, that is him explaining how those two things dont collide (which many would assume), its not an excuse like you make it sound. Maybe you misunderstood his statements.
