For playing 20,000 hours of the game, what else did he expect? It's such an obvious fact that becoming addicted is a possibility they shouldn't even waste the space of game boxes putting a warning...

[17:45:39] Wolfs Ghost (Murphy): Tom, you have problems. Go kill yourself.
[19:25:12] Johnny (Jam): Tomtom, I will beat you with a spoon.
[14:22:56] Prarabdh Thakur: KILL HIM WITH A SHEEP.
[17:40:48] Eagle (Junes): Tom should be slapped with a spoon.
[11:32:18] Warspite: Thank you for being so awesome Tom. <3
[18:17:36] Metano: I love you tomtom
[20:06:24] Warspite: I will seriously give you epic head.

"Online Gameplay may change Experience" or something.

Sid Meier has put warnings on all the Civilization games for the "One More Turn"syndrome they inspire. Civ 4 even had recommended stretches and a real-time clock in the corner.

Meh. considering that anything recreational can be abusable to an insane mind, be it drugs, sex, food, attention, TV, video games, ect...I say let the guy waste his time & money.

Me? I'm chock full of addictive personality faults, but I'm not stupid or self-centered enough to even try to pretend that those faults are anyone's fault but my own.

Screw 'im

I, like many others, have been known to yell "Noooo! Just one more turn, pleaaase!"... Thankfully, not many people know how long turns can be...

Retired, permanently.

It seems to me a strange thing...Mystifying! That a man like him can waste his time on games of that kind. >_>

Seriously, if he's addicted than it's his own damned fault for never getting laid or having a life beyond computers.

I myself while I love gaming at least have a life beyond it that prevents such 'addictions'...So this guy seriously needs to get a life, because that's just sad.

1) Ask for one more turn.
2) Spend the next hour on the civilopedia.
3)???
4)Profit!

Works like a charm.:D

IMO people that file these lawsuits are just trying to make some money. It's the person's fault for getting addicted to it and continuing to play.

It's like with heroin or any other drug, the drug has always been there, YOU choose to take it and now you're addicted to it because YOU tried it. You don't see "May be very addicted" on vials and dime bag for drugs.
