Games are an escape. Sure, games are fun but ask a drug addict why they do their drugs and they will say "because it feels good" not that they are escaping.
I found in the past console games seem much less addictive than MMOs though. I tended to play consoles, got bored by 3-4 hours and could go a day without playing.
MMOs tend to latch you in and refuse to let you go.

i agree with this. i don't play console games because i don't find anything fun by myself. there gotta be people for it to be entertaining. i also enjoy interacting with new people in new ways and rl doesn't really accommodate that.
with online games, were i not bound by duty, i could very easily remain logged in indefinitely. i don't feel bad about this and am not really sure why i should, though it does sadden me to an extent that other things don't work similarly well for me or that my interests don't more closely align with other people's.
