There are some games that can approach that level of entertainment. Something like Minecraft may entertain some for tens of thousands of hours because of its sandbox nature, and Crusader Kings games can also eat years of one's life because of how different each game/story can be.

But a game with a pre-written story and an immutable world has a fairly short shelf-life for most people.
