Nope.
I might cut back a bit if I am playing a bit too much, but if my partner would demand that I completely give up on my hobby, then it won't work anyway and I might as well end it right then and there.
But what do I know, I haven't been in a situation even remotely like that and there are by far too many variables to give a conclusive answer.

I'd certainly game less. Giving up gaming entirely doesn't really make sense: if you're only spending a few hours on it a week, it's probably not negatively impacting your life. If your partner wants you to give up gaming in that situation, that says something negative about them.
I don't think I'd be likely to put gaming before her anyway, so it's not really a question that I can ever imagine being asked, it's like her asking me to stop watching movies and listening to music.
If I was asked, I'd be more likely to get her involved that to give it up completely,

I don't game excessively for like 10 hours a day. Considering how much games are a part of my life and how much I love them, I don't play a lot compared to others.
I really only play maybe 4 hours at a time but thats not every day. There are 3 days out of the week were I don't play games at all so if my girlfriend asked me to stop playing now, there's something wrong with her. It ain't cuttin into our time and if it did, I'd get another girlfriend. I can't be with a girl who doesn't at least remotely like videogames.

A: I would NEVER quit gaming if my partner asked me too. If I am with a woman who doesn't share my passions and enjoy spending time gaming with me then there is no reason to be with them. I see a lot of similar attitudes here and I agree TOTALLY. The issue here is not, "Gaming too much" it's having the right partner. I game a lot, my girl games with me. Problem solved.
B: There is another here also related: addiction. If someone you love is concerned that you have a gaming PROBLEM, (like the guys that die because they quit peeing while playing WoW) then maybe you should seek help and support.

Yeah, of course I'd stop if she asked me too, it's just a game after all. But seeing as she's fine with it, and even likes to watch me play, then it's perfect.
I play 6+ hours a day as it is(I live in one of the worst unemployment areas in the U.S., It's summer, no gf)
But when I start my College, get a gf, get a job, I may have little time for it anyway.
Natural priorities put gaming 7-8 steps down the list.
If I actually got a GF, it wouldn't be a matter of her asking me to spend time with her, it'd be my clan ringing my phone wanting to know where I am.
Now there is no reason for a girl to ask me to give up games, I Guaran-fuckin-tee, there is something she likes to do that I don't, so she can do that while I play my games.
I likely would do it if there WAS some reason, but its a moot point because I don't see a reason worthy of such a step.
I like games and wouldn't just drop them, but reduction is possible,and indeed necessary.

I'd play less but she would never ask me to cause shes a gamer too and we play together quite a bit.
well since my PS3 died I've kinda been forced to give up hardcore gaming, cause I don't have any serious gaming hardware anymore =\
My parents have been trying for years. If I won't quit for them, I'm not quitting for anyone else...
No, but gaming less is no problem. If she feels my gaming is damaging our relationship, we'd at least talk about it. You have to be able to make compromises in relationships. But quitting outright I would never accept. That would be the same as me asking her to stop watching her favorite tv-shows. She loves her shows and it would never fly.
Luckily we don't have that problem. She watches her shows and I go play my games. We leave each other alone, get some 'me'-time as a bonus and we can always spend time together at other times. Or sometimes we join each other. Everybody wins.
