i was never addicted i would get bored of it after 3-4 hours on very rare occastions i would play almost all day. but my mom didn't like it so i uninstalled it and threw out the discs and now i stick to free games because they are not as addicting. for example audtion- my name on there is simba. but you get my point it is a very addicting game i know a lot of people that are like that stop now before it gets worse.
