Am I (22F) misunderstanding my boyfriend's (22M) perspective?

Las night I was talking to my boyfriend about how I feel a little ignored because of some things I noticed...

For some context, we have a LDR at the moment, so pretty much the only thing we can do is text (it's a little more difficult for the two of us to do a call because our families are a little noisy). He likes to play online games and watch his friend's lives, wich I don't have a problem with; what I was trying to comunicate to him was that he spends most of his free time doing those things and I only get to hear from him when he logs off the game, he usually text me once and then goes to some live, so I don't get a response until way later. I'd understand every now and then but it happens almost every day; so last night I told him about how it made me feel like he might choose or prefer other stuff (I'd like to point out that I also play online games and watch lives, maybe not as frequently as him, but I do and it has never been an "obstacle" to respond his texts) to what he replied "I don't know what to say". I kept trying for him to understand my pov a little more by being more clear and even set examples, to what he replied with "I know, but whit my friends I don't get to talk every day and I know that I talk to you every day, so its not a big deal", when I heard that I felt like maybe he was taking me for granted and it really hurts me.

I didn't know what to say to that and I just went quiet with all my emotions stuck, like I didn't want to make it a fight, because I was just talking calmly and even making a joke every now and then. I'm a little confused about whether I'm being maybe selfish/clingy or having a point.

Little note: Last night I told him that of course I don't ask his reply every free second he has, I was just asking to not be ignored... Am I being unfair?
