If WOW has 6 million worldwide, and other similar games have similar numbers, that puts it at, what, 60 million at most? There aren't that many MMORPGs that are as popular or populated as WOW.
So 60 million out of 6 billion? Again, how is this a significant population?
The US is almost 300 million, so if that was all in the US, then it'd be significant, but it's not. It's US, Canada, UK, Europe, Korea, and Japan primarily, I'm guessing off the top of my head. And a large portion is, as I said, under 18.
It's not significant, there will never be politicians seriously doing that sort of thing.
Now, maybe Screamin' Howard Dean, or maybe if Dennis Kucinich puts on his tinfoil hat and signs up, it might happen, but I don't see any serious candidate doing it.
