#GamedevProtip: Your game needs a pause button, and the sooner you add it the better, otherwise you'll struggle with which code should and should not run.
This is the real world: the phone rings, there is a knock at the door, a child needs help, a bathroom break, etc. Games are entertainment and need to take a backseat to life.
If the player is not actively engaged in online PvP, the pause button needs to work.
