Overwatch has destroyed me

Can't say anything was this much of a long-lasting addiction to me.
Phantasy Star Online came close, but in the pre-broadband days I was limited to how much I could play every day.

The fist years of TF2, I played OW for a while looking and longing that feel again, and for the few first months OW sort of almost did it, but it fade away rather quickly.
Maybe TF3 someday, maybe...

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I played a lot of Overwatch but the community did a great job turning me off the game.
Just got sick and tired of everybody blaming everybody else all the time. Every now and again I get into a nice game with people who just want to have fun but 7 out of 10 matches I get at least one idiot in my team who just rages and rambles throughout the entire match.
Good game, but not worth it in the end, at least for me

No you don't because those hours were glorious.

Im sort of like that with civilization 5, i could go days or even weeks without playing but then the moment I do i turn into zombie who just keep on clicking next turn and next turn for hours. Even after winning a game I usually continue to play that same game until I get bored of the civ I chose and move onto another character to start the cycle again.

Final Fantasy 11 was for me, and I loved it. I like only needing one game, it means I have a game I can constantly come back to for entertainment, something I enjoy playing. When I was a kid it was the Gran Turismo, and later GTA 3 - San Andreas.
Seeing people love DOTA2 and feel like it's the only game they need made me want to get hooked on a MOBA game, I never did. I played a crazy amount of Marvel Heroes on PC, now it's stale since they changed so much and haven't added new content for a long time.

300h?
*snort*
Admittedly a lot of that time has been keeping the game open in the backround too.
I don't even want to know how much time I have spent on WoW over the years, especially during Vanilla.
How the hell...
I don't think I've spent that much time playing video games over the course of my entire lifetime.
I mean I know some of that is idle time, but still...

Rocket League, but not to the extremes of some people here. I think I'm on 650 hours.
Dread to think how long it played Battlefield 2 for, I had no job or family then.

I quit Overwatch cold turkey and I feel more happy. Competitive is too frustrating
Dark Age of Camelot and Destiny.
No idea how many hours I logged into DAoC, but it had to be a lot back then. What an amazing crack game. Destiny 1 totaled 4000 hours in the end, across 3.5 years.
Then again, I grow bored much easier now that I am old as fuck. D2 is already losing the grip for me.

i get easily bored with games. can't imagine spending more than 100h on one.
I have 2000 hours in Dota 2 but then I realized it didn't really matter how good I played, the only thing that mattered was to have normal teamates and not idiots. Becoming better in dota sure mattered but not as much as your teamates. Plus everyone was flaming in the chat and Valve doesn't give a fuck. So if they give 0 fucks I give even less and so I quit.

Overwatch destroyed me in a different way. The amount of anger and frustration I experienced with this game was unmatched by any other multiplayer game I have played (except maybe LoL back in the day).
I've stopped playing OW and I'm demonstrably happier. This Halloween event is the first seasonal event I haven't participated in and I'm totally cool with that.

300 hours and addiction?
Bitch please. I've played plenty of games longer than that and wouldn't call it addiction.

Halo 4 no, Halo 5 yes. despite issues it still just feels good and the most satisfying shooter to play.
6 will be the return to glory, believe
Team Fortress Classic. Hooked me immediately. Before long I was knee deep in the community. Started with shitty clans and moved up to playing highly competitively with the best players. Even traveled to a LAN tournament put on by CPL (are they still around?). Pretty much ruined my freshmen and sophomore years in high school due to playing TFC matches instead of doing school work and studying. Easily played for thousands of hours.

5000+ hours in WoW using rough napkin math so that probably takes the cake for me.
Ive got almost 800 hours in Darkest Hour (Hearts of Iron 2 overhaul) and 500+ hours in Stellaris but that was probably a lot of time spent alt tabbed.

Multiplayer: Rainbow Six Vegas. This is the game that showed me how much fun multiplayer could be. The Assassination mode... Wow!
Single player: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. My favorite game of all time. I picked it up and dropped it nearly immediately. Then came back a couple of weeks later and spent much of my waking hours eating it up. Best game I have ever played.

Yep, even though I play less than 6 months ago, and I think the community is awful and Blizzard makes some baffling decisions. I'm still not playing anything else. It's still fun to just get on with your friends and laugh and how laughably outmatched you are/how bad teammates are shoot the shit, etc. And when everything is clicking the game is still unmatched in fun factor.

Final Fantasy XIV 4,500 hours and counting....
It's the only game I play now on my Xbox. I rage, I laugh, I tilt, meet new friends.
It's basically my life right now. People tell me that I have to play other games like Cuphead (which I should do) but I just can't quit this.
As our goddess Mercy says: Sometimes you scare me.
Same, instant action keeps me coming back. Even worse I go through periods of hating the game and wanting to quit due to comp losses but it always pulls me back in. I bought the game 3 times and have bought loads of boxes, I can't get enough. Every new game that comes out gets bought and then just sits there unplayed.

Hearthstone.
I hate some of the cards.
I still hate the priest Class.
but damn it i've played hundreds of hours of Hearthstone.
I don't play it as much, but starcraft (both the original and part 2) is another game where i've put in a billion hours to....wait a second i'm seeing a blizzard pattern here.
Call of duty modern warfare 2 really hooked me back in the day. I put a ridiculous amount of hours in that game.

Half that time was spent reading. The game has so much text.

Lol, exact same thing happened to me.
Made fun of my buddies for playing EQ, DAoC came out and they convinced me to buy it and play Midgard with them - waved goodbye to any social life for the last two years of high school.

TF2 still holds the highest amount of time on my Steam account. I think Binding of Isaac / Rebirth is next.
I still think of all time is probably Quake II. I was in 8th grade when it dropped and I couldn't stop playing. :| I want to say I finally put it down by the time I was a sophomore?

As of late, Rainbow Six Siege. ~300 hours and each round still feels fresh.

I was at that point for about 15 hours with Overwatch then I was over it. No matter how into any given game I get, there always comes a point when I'm ready for something new.
I actually kind of miss being this addicted to a game.
Last time I "binged" FFXIV I ended up with 1700h in a semester. That saved me a lot of money, considering all I've spent in gaming during that was the $13/month sub.
I've been addicted to WoW as well and every time I'd unsub during a lull I'd end up spending on something that I didn't care until I had time/interest to actually play other stuff. A new console, a fightstick, that long overdue TV upgrade...

I think my anti-social nature helps innoculate me against game addiction, as it always seem that the games that people get addicted to are multiplayer ones (which makes sense, since other human beings make for an element of randomness that makes sure there's always something weird or different, so you can never quite fully know the game)
The fact that I'm not a completionist or collector helps keep things in check, too
