Addiction is too strong a word. You can only be addicted to something if it starts affecting your daily life and leaves you dependent on it. I haven't really come across anyone who is literally addicted to a game to the point that they can't function normally without playing it at least once per day.
Though some DotA players come to mind though... I hardly classify that one as a game anymore. More like its some sort of obsession or something.
And yes, i did ditch work for a couple of days to finish the last installment of .hack//G.U. No regrets, even though my paycheck did suffer a bit because of it.
It really wasn't addiction but simply the need to see the story's resolution without being hampered by my ungodly oppresive work schedule.
It really depends on how you view the term "addiction", just like reality is how you view the world around you.
