> They are made to be addictive That's quite off the mark. The biggest franchises are made to be addictive. But most games are made to be fun, and people tend to like fun. That's the difference between someone enjoying Super Mario or 99% of games, and someone with 20k hours playing the same MMO even when they are quite aware they're not having fun. Shigeru Miyamoto didn't sit down with psychologists to create an addictive game, but you bet your ass Blizzard, EA, Ubisoft & co. routinely do.
