I bought it for myself Christmas 2023. I spend the first week of 2024 playing in 36-hour streaks, did not show up to friends and relied on SO to supply me with food. Second week in January i went back to work, but spent most of my time outside of that playing. I restarted social activity in February, around May the addiction had largely burned out and playing increasingly didn't give "the kick" anymore. I had around 500 hrs of Gameplay at that point.

These weeks i still plan to waste every other evening with Factorio, but usually i end up programming or doing housewife stuff instead.

I think i would do that again. Thanks to SO for supporting me when doing silly things.
