12 work-days of a hobby and your partner labels it an addiction thats divorce worthy? sounds pretty terrible. I strongly suspect he/she is probably spending atleast as much time on his/her hobby.

How do you figure 450hrs is only 12 working days??? It’s already 18 actual days.

After a normal work day, after all my daily chores are done, gone to the gym and other things to take care of myself, I have maybe 2-3 hrs of free time. If we’re generous and say 3 hrs, that’s 150 days straight of spending your free time on a game and not your partner.

You can't really form any judgement without knowing more context. 450hrs over a year+? A couple months? Did the game interrupt important events or cause OP to neglect certain responsibilities?

It's Factorio, so, yes.
