Post-game depression is now being studied as a measurable phenomenon, with researchers identifying how finishing a video game can leave players feeling empty, reflective, and emotionally drained.
More like a hypothesis generating survey than an actual research paper. Even so, those are better numbers than a lot of other science headlines have (by orders of magnitude).
My point is that a lot of papers that make headlines have participants numbering in the single or double digits, so this is at least better than that. Your point (I assume) is that a low number of participants should be viewed skeptically, and I agree with that.
