PC games were build to be addictive already years ago. For all the complains about mobile gaming, every single addicted gamer I knew or heard about was playing online games on console or on PC.

I know it was not your main point, but it is ridiculous how gaming culture constantly blames mobile, but the actual addictive issue happen with games like WoW or LoL.

Way before that. The dangers of "just one more turn" addiction were already well known even with games like SimCity and Civilization. The benefits to the game maker were less obvious, but still very real. As evidence, consider the fact that those franchises are still making money even after this long.
