Remember that Cookie Clicker game PotD was obsessed with a few years ago?

Yeah. That.

Most smartphone games are intentionally designed to manipulate addictive tendencies.

There was that presentation where a smartphone game developer was explaining (to investors) that successful smartphone games manipulate people into making habits of playing games they otherwise might not and how to do it.

Sorta on topic. The only games I watch streamers/YouTubers play are games I would never play.

Ah Its mostly games that are super grindy or crazy hyper timing/skill games. Like stardew valley for grinds, or hot line Miami for the skillish games.

No otherwise I wouldn't be playing them and I actually did like that cookie clicker game but got bored of it when progression slowed to a crawl and it wasn't updated fast enough to keep me interested.

I'm sure I've played a few JRPGs that fit into this category. Sometimes, it's a case of something that I'll appreciate more after I'm done with it.

Clickers/idle games can be addictive without really being fun. I've gotten sucked into a few.

I've been playing Gears 4 since it's free on Xbox in anticipation of 5, the game is far inferior to 3 with nearly everything about it being smaller from going from 4 player Campaign back to 2, removal of Beast mode and multiple fan-favorite Versus modes, a removal of many weapons and locking Horde class progression(aswell as changes I don't like) behind Loot Boxes. Yet I can't stop playing.

Splatoon (Wii U)

Horrible P2P connection, you play the same 2 stages for 4 hours, (almost) impossible to get the power-ups you want on your gear, 1 horrible member on your team and you're pretty much done....

... and yet I've put 1400 hours into it

Still very active oddly enough

Hearthstone when there's a poor meta going on (e.g. aggro decks or netdecks everywhere), but you want to keep playing for daily quest rewards.

I finally finished Bayonetta on Nonstop Infinite Climax difficulty the other day, the hardest part of the game? The Alfheim challenges, and I did them on NORMAL FFS. I literally punched my controller a few times doing this one Alfheim that took me 3 hours of nonstop playing to finally finish it. There were more ridiculous alfheims too that were not fun to play and just frustrating. I hated them but I finished them.
Started Bayonetta 2 and it is way better. I bet the devs must have received many complaints about the first game's difficulty and maybe that's why Bayonetta 2 is more forgiving.

Also got addicted to Devil May Cry 2 HD to get the Playstation platinum trophy for the game. That game just plain sucked.

dunno if I was "addicted" but Skyrim definitely takes the prize of being the game I like the least yet played the most.

Destiny. It basically tricked me in with bullshit hype, then trapped me in a feedback loop, and only shitty design and a random accident on my part eventually broke me out of it.

Even while I was playing it, I would basically tell people "I kind of hate this game, and I have no idea why I'm playing it, but I can't stop playing it."

I've never been a gaming addict. However if I play something a lot then I like it so no.

I can't think of any on the spot, but I'm sure it has happened before. I have played quite a few games I didn't like with friends.

For example we used to play a ton halo. So I guess I was more addicted to the interpersonal interaction rather than the games.

Pretty much this for me. I basically stop playing when I stop having fun. I rarely get frustrated with games, too.

A lot of live service or mobile games follow this bill. First it's kinda fun but then it becomes a 2nd job, then you hate it.
