An idle game like cookie clicker can teach you much about what addiction could look like for you. It depends a lot on the person what kind of game will "click" and if they will "click" at all, but if they do you will be utterly addicted for a while. This sounds like an awful idea! I have an addictive personality, and cookie clicker and similar idle games have taught me a lot about how I feel when I'm addicted to something, how it affects my decision making capabilities, how I can detect it early, what I can do to get out of the loop. This is not something you'll pick up automatically by playing these kinds of games, you'll have to deliberately and mindfully interact with them, but if you do you can learn a lot about how you respond to addictive stimuli and hopefully prevent a lot of way, way worse addiction in the future through these lessons.
